As Millsfield goes, so goes the nation?

I stayed up late last night to report the first-in-the-nation poll results on our special Election Day edition of The Mark Steyn Show. New Hampshire has a law that permits any town with fewer than a hundred voters to hold the vote at midnight as long as every voter votes. So last night two communities availed themselves of that opportunity.
The famous one is Dixville Notch. So it's five-zip vote for Biden was eagerly reported by the national media - as the first total blowout for any candidate since Nixon in 1960. Great start for Biden.
The other town, as I mentioned on the show, is Millsfield. Trump over Biden 16 to 5. Nobody reported that.
These two early-voting communities are, in fact, the story of this weird election.
Dixville Notch is the perfect place for the Biden campaign's first 100 per cent victory. It's a Potemkin town for a Potemkin campaign. It's not a town; it's a business masquerading as a town. The business is the Balsams, a nineteenth-century grand hotel. Neil Tillotson, the owner of the joint, started the midnight vote as a gimmick, and it was kind of cute to see him as the very first voter in the nation every four years. But he died, at the age of 102, almost a decade ago - and the hotel has been shuttered since then, pending a so-called "redevelopment" and "reopening".
So it's a business masquerading as a town - and the business has been dead for ten years. So it's a perfect emblem for Joe Biden, who's a dead husk masquerading as a guy who's running for president.

As Millsfield goes, so goes the nation?
Dixville had only 5 for Biden< I believe there are more registered voters there, as in past years there has been 7 or 9.
Careful, please about spreading lies. The town went 5 - 2 for Hillary in 2016 and has lost two residents since then. It has not been the “first time since 1960.”
lol....at this stage, we all look at EVERY data point!
Good read. No, great read!
What a great line!!
“So it’s a business masquerading as a town - and the business has been dead for ten years. So it’s a perfect emblem for Joe Biden, who’s a dead husk masquerading as a guy who’s running for president.”
Maybe people are leaving Dixville because of high taxes associated with the hotel reopening???
The results in Dixville Notch, near the Canadian border, were a sweep
for former Vice President Joe Biden who won the town’s five votes.
In Millsfield, 12 miles (20 kilometers) to the south,
President Donald Trump won 16 votes to Biden’s five.

Only five of the population are eligible to vote.
And, now, we know “the rest of the story!”...Great reporting by Mark Steyn.
When they started importing gloves from China it caused a recession among latex salesman.
Yes, it did go to Hillary in 2016 5-2, as you mentioned.
This was the first time since 1960, that the vote was unanimous for a particular candidate. It helps to read the article.
Dixville has been lefty for several election cycles. I suspect leftists colonized it deliberately so that its early count would favor them.
Art Vandelay should be available for an interview.
Five for Biden...
Wow, so zero brain cells then...
They all voted together so everybody knows who voted for whom.
These places have had their 15 minutes. Dixville is down to just five presumably legal voters? Time to disband the place and let them vote with everyone else nearby.
Well, it seems they don’t call it Dixville for nothing.
Well, at 5-0, I’m still guessing some of them don’t know
who the others voted for.
They did vote for Biden after all.
