Voting was officially underway on Election Day as six registered voters in the town of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire cast their ballots just after midnight.
The results in the small town were literally too close to call, as the half dozen voters were split three-to-three between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
It’s actually a sharp swing from 2020, when Joe Biden swept all five people who voted against Trump.
Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte bested her Democrat opponent, 5-1, while Democrat Maggie Goodlander won the tally for town’s Congressional district, 4-2.
Dixville Notch has produced the first results of the first-in-the-nation primary since 1960 with its midnight vote on Election Day.

Les Otten, the principal owner and developer of the Balsams Resort, spoke during the primary of how unique the event is.
‘It’s special. It really is,’ Otten said. ‘It’s what ought to happen in every community in the United States, where there is 100% participation, everybody votes.’
