Those 3 towns would never be in the news if not for the two times every 4 years. Look at the Dems votes, 1 sane voter went for the only sane Democrat running - Mark Greenstein.
I think the residents are very proud of this, and they must be very civic minded. They have 100% voting participation. The fact that everyone agrees to turn out at midnight to vote... rain or shine or snow... is kind of amazing.
I bet most people couldn't get the 9 people physically closest to them right now to agree on where to go eat lunch.
