*UPDATE* - The First Votes Are In: Dixville Notch Votes Obama in Landslide Victory Over McCain
DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. -- Democrat Barack Obama defeated John McCain 15-6. Independent Ralph Nader was also on the ballot, but received no votes.
The first voter, following tradition established in 1948, was picked ahead of the midnight voting and the rest of the town’s 19 registered voters followed suit in Tuesday’s first minutes.
Town Clerk Rick Erwin says the northern New Hampshire town is proud of its tradition, but says the most important thing is that the turnout represents 100 percent vote.
President Bush won the vote in Dixville Notch in 2004 on the way to his re-election.
*BIGGER & BETTER UPDATE*: CNN Projects Obama to win OHIO & PENNSYLVANIA.Also, Al Franken is leading the Senate race in Minnesota.
Great! Me too in PA,
ReplyDeleteGo Obama!
Good for you, Michelle!
ReplyDeleteLong lines! It took me an hour to vote at 7 am and there was an equal line when I left. I hope that's good news.
It's exciting to see people taking advantage of the right to vote.
YAY! Good for you! So glad you're helping to get out the vote! Meanwhile, Karly and I -- having voted days ago -- will be cozied up the the tv, eating blue cupcakes, and watching the returns with a zillion people.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait!
I'm inspired by your post, Gorgeous! I can feel it in the air today!
ReplyDeleteI want blue cupcakes. *pout*
ReplyDeleteThanks, Greta. Hope so.
Turns out I'm making calls in Ohio right now. It's nice making get out the vote calls because you're calling Obama supporters to just make sure they are voting and know where their polling places are so nobody's pissy. Everybody's excited to finally be voting!
