And, Yes, The Decision Is Tied -- At Least In Hart's Location

HART'S LOCATION, N.H. -- President Bush and John Kerry each received 15 votes in the nation's initial votes for president just after midnight Tuesday. Ralph Nader received one vote.

The first vote came from Hart's Location. The 26 registered voters in Dixville Notch were still were casting votes shortly after midnight.

(snip)

In 2000, both mountain hamlets chose President Bush over Democrat Al Gore. In Hart's Location, Bush won 17-13. In Dixville Notch, about 50 miles to the north, Bush had 21, Gore five and Ralph Nader one vote.

(snip)

Republicans still have the edge in both towns. Hart's Location has 10 Republicans, 15 independents and six Democrats. Dixville has 13 Republicans, 11 independents and two Democrats.

DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (Reuters) - President Bush scored a symbolic victory on Tuesday, capturing the first Election Day votes in a tiny New Hampshire hamlet whose residents traditionally cast the first ballots in the U.S. presidential race.

Voters in Dixville Notch, about 15 miles from the Canadian border, backed Bush over Democratic challenger John Kerry by a margin of 19 to 7, election officials said. Independent candidate Ralph Nader received no votes, they said.
