Dixville Notch, a small town on the Canadian border at the northern tip of New Hampshire in the northeastern United States, is where the first U.S. presidential election tape was cut for over 60 years, starting in 1960 when Democratic candidate John F. Kennedy faced Republican candidate Richard Nixon.
In New Hampshire, there is a regulation that requires local governments with less than 100 residents to start voting at midnight and make the results public immediately.
In Dixville Notch, voters have traditionally gathered at 0:00 a.m. (midnight) on presidential election day immediately after polling places open to cast their votes and announce the results.
Dixville Notch voters sided with the Democratic Party in both of the past two presidential elections.
In 2016, Democrat Hillary Clinton received 4 votes and Republican Donald Trump received 2 votes, and in 2020, Democrat Joe Biden received 5 votes and Republican Trump received 0 votes.
The current tie score of 3 to 3 in Dixville Notch is seen as another example showing that this presidential election is being held with a very close race, making it difficult to predict the outcome.
The New York Times (NYT) reported that Tom Tillotson (79), a voter in this town, said after voting that the results of the two parties’ candidates being tied “followed the national trend.”
