Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has won in the two US towns that traditionally open US election voting.
In Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, he won 15 votes to his Republican rival John McCain's six, becoming the first Democrat to win there since 1968.
In Hart's Location he won 17 votes, while Mr McCain won 10, and Ron Paul two, showing 100% voter turnout.
Results from the rest of the US are expected from 2300 GMT as citizens elect their 44th president.
Hart's Location began the practice of voting early in 1948 so that railroad employees could vote before going to work.

If you look at their primary numbers it does appear that Democrats have taken over the small town.

It’s sickening. Most of the late night local news over here in SoCal opened up with the press conference announcement of Obama winning these small towns. They are all filled with joy or as one local newscaster said “it paints a grim picture for McCain”.

The last time these folks went Democrat was when Humphrey ran against Nixon... That was a banner year for Humphrey and the Democrats - he got 42.72% of the vote and Wallace, the Democrat Racist, got a whopping 13.54% of the vote.
Thankfully, Nixon won with 43.42% and 301 electoral votes.
That’s roughly how many electoral votes that I predict McCain gets today - 300.

They called this race for Barack Hussein Obama over four years ago, at the 2004 DNC.
He’s unstoppable and brings hope and change.
