The word from Dixville Notch, NH

The word from Dixville Notch, NH. The NH hamlet that traditionally votes right after midnight on election day this year tied 5-5 between Romney and Obama. That’s the bad news. The good news is that four years ago, they landslid Obama 15-6. BTW, Dixville Notch lost half of its registered voters in the last 4 years, which pretty much tells you all you need to know about the Obama presidency.

  • I've been to Dixville Notch, all that snow during the winter is bound to drive a person crazy. But since most of them were crazy to begin with, and the Balsams going out of business along with the rubber factory thus the drop in population.

  • Is this one of those quaint little towns that has a local population of 20 people and a moose, or is it more like Dry Gulch, population 3 and a rattlesnake?

  • Good old Dixville Notch! Local stations used to have camera crews there right at midnight to see the very first vote in the nation cast.
