3 Tiny New Hampshire Towns Voted At Midnight. Do They Predict Anything?
When Dixville Notch, in the far northern reaches of New Hampshire, voted just after midnight Tuesday, it didn't predict six more weeks with Donald Trump.
But as with Pennsylvania's groundhog, the results — three votes for John Kasich, the only candidate to visit the town, and two for Trump, along with four for Bernie Sanders and zero for Hillary Clinton — are not necessarily predictive.
The town's 100 percent turnout is quite impressive, if you don't consider that it hit its 38-vote peak in 1988, according to The Boston Globe. (The Globe also reported that only ten will vote in the town this year.)
These few votes will make headlines Tuesday morning, as they do every four years
