It is now a little after 12:00 AM and the folks in the small town of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire are upholding their status as "First In The Nation"
Dixville Notch has not gone Democratic since Hubert Humphrey in 1968!
There are 22 registered voters!
The results are in!
Ralph Nader 1
John McCain 6
Barak Obama 15
Is this a sign of what is to come?

Joan- I certainly hope that is not the trend! I have faith it will go to McCain in the end here in Florida we will take it home for McCain. :)
Wow Joan, This should be featured since I would guess this is a historic news flash.
Katerina....I don't agree....but I love you anyway!! :0)
I was thinking that myself William...but I don't know if the powers that be are up this late?? ;0)
How secret are the ballots in a town of 22 voters? I guess everyone knows exactly who voted how, no? :D I guess I would have expected more Libertarian votes too.
Ah, so you are wanting a socialist country....good for you, but, not for the rest of us.
They have special permisison to vote first --right? And they all cast their votes at 12:01 am and then count? Anyhow - good news.
Hi Joan... I hope this is a good indication of the historic news to come later today! Thanks for the breaking news from NH!
Nice post -- and we will see if the trend holds throughout the State of New Hampshire. Have you emailed this to the Obama campaign (lol)! I got up early and voted -- there was good traffic, but I had no wait at all.
If someone needs to find their polling place or check out the facts, you can find the links on a post I did yesterday.
OK everyone -- please go and vote!
Lynn...there are actually 3 Libertarians on our ballot but they didn't make much of a splash!
Susan...I'm sorry you fear that but I don't believe that will be the case...have faith
Hi Alexsandra....yes I just happened to have on Larry King and they switched to Dixville Notch....perfect opportunity to post!!
Hi Steve...I don't think they are a representative sample LOL. There were lines at our ward. Never have been before....good sign!
Hey Joan...looks like it's going to be a great turnout!
Joan, I was right there too watching Larry King--the lines here are long but I will be heading out........
We didn't have any lines earlier down here but I heard that after 4pm it got pretty crowded. I think O is going to be the man.
Joan,
WoW, fascinating stats and it looks like it was a sign of what was to come.
Congrats on your new President!!
Jo
Amazing, isn't it!? Dixville is legendary - in its' own right.
Carole....haven't been on for a while! Election withdrawal!!
See Monika....you were prophetic!
Jo...all we can do is hope that we did it right this time (but I take no responsibility for the past 8)
Carol...they must prepare for it all week! New clothes,makeup,hair etc. :0)
Hi Joan,

Bruno
Bruno...I think it's been at least 6 months! A lot of people have drifted away...it's sad!
Joan,
I feel bad for the one voter who cast the single ballot for Ralph Nader. Who can he commiserate with?! LOL
