Dixville Notch, NH has returned the first results in the 2024 US election. The town voted at midnight and only six ballots were cast, so tallying the results didn’t take long. In the presidential race the results were evenly split, with 3 votes each for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

And now we get the first spot of color on the map, courtesy of Associated Press:
Edit: AP has now removed the blue squares in New Hampshire from their map.
In the event of an exact tie, the seat is awarded to the male candidate, and the female candidate is put in jail. /j
Funny, over here results can only start coming in when all polling stations are closed so as not to influence the vote of people further west…
That’s standard practice everywhere else in the US. New Hampshire has this thing about being first, though. They have the earliest presidential primary as well. Releasing early results for this one tiny town is a minor publicity gimmick that shouldn’t have any impact on the overall election. Even the rest of New Hampshire’s towns will wait until Tuesday evening to report their results.
This is gonna be a long week.
(Famous last words)
Agreed. Part of me wants to skip classes for the week and just black out for a few days, at least until Pennsylvania’s called.
“Yeah, well…you shot a guy.”
“What? No. That wasn’t this show. You’re breaking the 4th wall, Liz.”
(alec baldwin’s character did actually shoot a guy at the end of season 5 episode 21 but that was a full season and a half later)
Do you think they made it a tie on purpose? They knew they had the chance to troll the entire country and took it, lol.
Has Trump declared victory yet?
