Harris And Trump Tie In Nation’s First Election Result

CNN reports:

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have tied with three votes each in the tiny New Hampshire township of Dixville Notch, kicking off Election Day in one of the first places in the country to report its presidential preference.

The unincorporated township, located along the US-Canada border in New Hampshire’s northern tip, opened and closed its poll just after midnight ET in a tradition that dates back to 1960. Four Republicans and two undeclared voters participated.

While Dixville Notch isn’t always predictive of the eventual winner – or even the state’s pick – its annual production, despite a dwindling population, is a success story for local leaders and a reason to smile for political junkies eager for an early taste of the day’s events.

Fun Fact: Dixville Notch all voted for Nikki Haley in the primaries. So technically they are Republicans, and Kamala gained 3 crossover votes. Could it happen all over the country? Who knows. pic.twitter.com/ajLJy5ejAD
