Harts Location is also in a way PUBLIC voting (its been doing it since 1996). They both had way more votes for Obama than Hillary. Hillary won NH. Its cause they know their vote will be THE FIRST to be shown (Harts Location isnt shown on TV, but theyre released early). So, I would discount these votes. Lets get real, folks. They went for Bob Dole in 1996 and GW Bush in 2004 (2 losses, 1 win, Bush in 2000). The Dixville Notch went for Humphrey in 68 (loss), Ford in 76 (loss), Bush I in 92 (loss), Dole in 96 (loss) and Bush in 04 (loss). Since 1968, Dixville Notch has only picked the winner very few times (Reagan 80, 84, Bush Sr. 88, Nixon 72). Take it for what you will. Heck, even if Mac loses NH, he can still win. NH has been trending Democratic. For it to go for Humphrey in a time when NH was very reliably Republican shows how useless these numbers really are.
In the 1992 primaries, the Libertarian Party candidate received more votes than Dole or Clinton in Dixville Notch. In the general election, the Libertarian candidate received more than twice the votes as Slick Willie. These publicity-seeking small NH towns are not trend-setters.
“After a victorious showing in the Iowa caucuses, where votes were cast publicly, polls predicted that Obama would also capture the New Hampshire Democratic primary election by a large margin over Hillary Clinton, a white senator. However, Clinton defeated Obama by three points in the New Hampshire race, where ballots were cast secretly, immediately initiating suggestions by some analysts that the Bradley effect may have been at work.”
