On a non-partisan note, what's up with Richmond, NH?

I'm wondering if anyone can answer this. According to a nifty Google Maps feature, it voted for Ron Paul in the GOP primary: http://maps.google.com/maps/mpl?moduleurl=http:%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fmapfiles%2Fmapplets%2Fnhprimary%2Fnhprimary.xml&ie=UTF8&ll=43.975,-71.628&spn=2.909567,5.405273&z=8&om=1

I did some further research and found out that it gives a strangely high number of votes to far right candidates in general elections. Peroutka won over 5% in 2004 and Buchanan over 10% in 2000. Yet it voted for both Kerry and Gore.

So what's up with that place?
