1. Dixville Notch election results anyone?
Or are they witholding them until the polls close?

2. I'm sure MSNBC will report them as soon as possible
because they'll be in Dumbya's favor.

6. If Kerry gets any kind of showing, considering the D vs. R ratio
...it will be interesting. Only 2 Democrats in that town!!!

In Dixville Notch, N.H., 378 miles north and a world away from Co-op City, a very different scene will unfold on Tuesday. Since its institution in 1960, the polling place for this unincorporated township in New Hampshire's White Mountains has processed between eight and 30 votes each election.

Hours before voters in most of the nation's precincts are even thinking of getting out of bed, Dixville Notch's voting-age population of 11 Republicans, two Democrats and 13 independents lines up at the Balsams resort, where a special room is permanently set aside for elections.

Dixville Notch takes advantage of a New Hampshire law that allows voting to begin at midnight on Election Day, and at 12:01 a.m. the voters proceed to their voting booths - each citizen has his or her own - marks a ballot and drops it in the ballot box.

Dixville Notch moderator Thomas Tillotson, who runs the township's elections, closes the polls and counts the votes, and by about 12:15 a.m. Dixville Notch has made its choice, typically announced prominently on late-night TV news as the first local returns in the nation.
