Dixville Notch & Hart's Location Pick Obama in a Landslide

Dixville Notch and Hart's Location, in New Hampshire, have voted. And their votes have been counted. Obama won by a landslide.

Is this a predictor of how the rest of the day goes?

Who knows?

Historically the two town's have gone for both the winners and the losers in the elections since 1948 when they began their on and off tradition of being first in the nation to be counted.

The voters in the 2 New Hampshire villages started voting at midnight. Each voter gets their own voting booth, so that there is no line, so as to speed up the vote counting.

Dixville Notch gets a 100% voter turnout. I don't know about Hart's Location. I do know Hart's Location is an odd name for a village. It must be the location of Hart.
