The first votes came in quickly after midnight from the tiny White Mountain hamlet of Dixville Notch with Barack Obama receiving 15 votes to John McCain's 6.
This tradition was initiated in 1960 and I thought that the majority of the incorporated New Hampshire Village had always voted for the winner, however this was not the case in 1960, 1964, 1968,1976, 1992or 1996. They have voted for losers, mostly since the North Country is predominantly Republican.
This year they went with the winner.
Barack Obama.
