It's a tie lol.

Obama won among Independents! :P

Obama 5, Romney 5

Nixon defeated Kennedy 9-0 in 1960.

FIVE OBAMA FIVE ROMNEY

FIRST EVER TIE

also congress vote was 6 bass, 3 caster, 1 for macia

Called it!!!


It wasn't real hard, though. :P

When does Hart's Location announce their results?

Boom, called it too.

I believe the town charter of Dixville Notch calls for the dog that hangs out in front of the general store to break the tie. It is a little vague on how he actually expresses his preference

What were the 08 and 04 results?

15-6 Obama

Ha wikipedia is already updated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixville_Notch,_New_Hampshire#Federal_election_results

By putting a poster cut-out of both candidates side by side and which ever candidate the dog mauls is the loser.

* That's not how it is, but its fun to think like that!

2004: 19-7 for Bush
2008: 15-6 for Obama.

2008 was the first time since 1968 than a Democrat won. Clinton finished 4th in 1992. It isn't a good indicator, especially than the area lost population.

Cannot believe this is here!

What were Hart's results in 08? Not on Wikipedia.

edit www.google.com

17-10 Obama

Obama -21.4% from 2008. May the trend continue :)

When does the other town vote?

Now, normally, but there is more inhabitants, it takes longer to vote and to count.

The question is who were the half that left?  I'm very surprised at no Johnson votes.  If these are the same 10 voters, we know Obama got at least 1 Republican primary voter.  They also went 2-1 R downballot.

Congrats on the new board, Ernest.

Dixville Notch is not comparable anymore with 2008 though, because only 10 people are registered to vote anymore (hotel owners and workers only).

A more comparable thing are the 2012 primaries, where 3 persons voted for Obama in the Democratic primary and 6 people voted in the Republican primary.

So, a good showing for Obama ... ;)

Obama wins Hart's Location 23-9.

Turnout is higher than 2008.  Maybe the other 11 people from Dixville Notch moved here?

Well, I was really off on my Hart's prediction. Numbers look good for Obama though.

In Hart's Location

2000: Bush 17 Gore 13

2004: Bush 15 Kerry 15

2008: Obama 17 McCain 10 (Someone confirm this one)

Oh, and Gary Johnson got 2.....can you smell the momentum?

Higher number of registered voters. 

Hart’s Location & Dixville Notch
President (2012)
Obama (D)  28 (65.1%)
Romney(R)  14 (32.6%)
Johnson (L)   1 (2.3%)    

President (2008)
Obama (D)  32 (64.0%)
McCain (R)  16 (32.0%)
Other (I)       2 (4%)

Such a result of nothingness. Turnout down because the hotel in Dixville Notch was torn down and is being rebuilt.

Hart's Location robbed a vote from Johnson on their website. I demand a recount! Obvious voter fraud! ;)

Only precinct in the nation that swings to Obama % wise?

Obviously not.

Who else thinks that Dixville Notch planned the tie?

I agree. Voter Fraud! Bring in the FBI! This is series.

Between the "Fix in the Dix" and Hart's Location losing a vote for Johnson (they must have been high or something), this election is off to a bad start. Very series. ;)

It was most unexpected.  Dave didn't even PM me about it.

Now you know how us 2016 Board moderators feel! ;D

December 21st, 2012:

Good Morning and Happy Holidays to all!  After more than 6 weeks with the outcome of the 2012 election in doubt, Chief Justice Roberts will now deliver the Supreme Court's opinion in the New Hampshire Voting Cases, including Romney v. Hart's Location Board of Elections and Democratic Party of New Hampshire v. Town of Dixville Notch.  The cases, alleging voting irregularities and voter suppression, respectively, are the result of President Barack Obama's 5 vote lead in the pivotal swing state of New Hampshire, on which the election outcome hinges after Mitt Romney's 368 vote lead in Ohio and Barack Obama's 671 vote lead in Virginia were certified last week following a manual recount in each state...

Dixville Notch is an unincorporated village in Dixville Township~

Obama seems to do well in comparison with the Congressional and Gubernatorial Dems.
