Here We Go...Hart's Location Results:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/06/harts-location-election-results-2012_n_2080800.html

Obama 23, Romney 9, Johnson 2



By tradition, the town of Hart's Location, located in Carroll County, New Hampshire, is one of two locations that get to cast the first votes of the presidential election just after midnight on Election Day. The other location, also in New Hampshire, is Dixville Notch.

This year, the tiny town cast 23 votes for President Barack Obama, giving him the win over Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who earned nine votes. Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson received two votes.

In 2008, President Obama carried Hart's Location, winning 17 votes to Senator John McCain's 10. Ron Paul earned two write-in votes.


I guess the Mittmentum didn't quite catch there...

Small sample size to be sure but that's pretty significant increase for O from 2008.

...not far from his Lake Winnipesaukee compound. Looks like he'll lose this "home state", too...

And even though these totals are small, they are indicative of how the electorate thinks.

Great news!

Thank you.
