The town's ~25-odd registered voters all gather to cast their ballots at midnight, and the polls are closed one minute later. Then the votes are counted.

[Jet Jaguar]

And the polls open.

[jerod]

Any historical ref? What was the the 2008 count?

[lowteksh]

Refresh our collective memory on the predictive accuracy of these truly “early voters”.

[TheBigB]

Four years ago it went 15-6 for Obama. Fingers crossed for a good omen...

[GOPFlack]

And indicative of nothing. Greg Craig was sent up there in 2008 primary to get it for Obama for perception which he did.

[snarkytart]

Whats their track record? I know they did this a long long time ago then stopped for a long time then resumed again in 1996, right?

[rdl6989]

Thanks for the live thread. I’ve been waiting all night for Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location.

[Jet Jaguar]

Since 1960, Dixville voters have picked 7 of 13 winners, including the last three.

[GoldwaterChick]

I remember when there were 12 voters!

[GOPFlack]

Biggest joke in American politics. Pay no attention good or bad.

[Jet Jaguar]

LOL!

[mylife]

Whew! It is going to be a long 48 hours

[comebacknewt]

I have been staying up for this.

Sure hope it is worth it. lol

[snarkytart]

Well okay. lol
Not a stellar track record but I’m excited to see who they pick.

[MestaMachine]

On Fox live.

[mylife]

The New Hampshire rally for Mitt looks impressive.

[rdl6989]

Me too. Here we go.

[FreeReign]

Obama got 15 of 21 votes in 2008.

Prepare to be disapointed. Gay friendly Dixville Notch isn't what it used to be.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

That was Hart’s Location that stopped in the 60’s and started again in 1996. Dixville Notch started in 1960 I believe and has done so since.

[Fledermaus]

And...here....we....go!

[Fledermaus]

And...here....we....go!

[Jet Jaguar]

It looks like the polls have closed and the counting begins.

2 dems 3 rep and 5 indy

[P-Marlowe]

Since 1960, Dixville voters have picked 7 of 13 winners

That is pretty much the same odds as if they had flipped a coin.

[MestaMachine]

oops. not

[TheBigB]

Well, would still rather win than lose... good for morale, if nothing else. : )

[Jet Jaguar]

10 votes only this year

[max americana]

Those are the same odds I get at the poker table at Caesar’s.

[2ndDivisionVet]

What does Punxsutawney Phil have to say?

[HiTech RedNeck]

So a teeny trifle better than flipping a coin?

[Sarah Barracuda]

The Redskin rule is more reliable than this

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well he says 2 year old groundhogs can’t vote, but if they could, they would vote for Mitt Romney.

[MestaMachine]

The Resort there is closed for repairs. Hopefully it's under new ownership.

[MJY1288]

[lowteksh]

Should be noted that for Congress it was GOP 6, DEM 3, IND 1 and for Gov it was GOP 7, DEM 3

[SgtBob]

I hope not another four years of winter...

[MestaMachine]
