Dixville Notch, N.H. is getting ready to vote at Midnight.
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 11:55 PM by Solly Mack
19 registered voters - begins in about 10 minutes.


Just showed it on CNN preparing to vote...


First town weighs in on election at midnight

"The town, home to around 75 residents, has opened its polls shortly after midnight each Election Day since 1960

But since 1996, another small New Hampshire town, Hart's Location, reinstated its practice from the 1940s and also opens its polls at midnight"

Even though Dixville Notch leans GOP(blech)...TODAY IS FINALLY HERE!!!!

Whew...

10. I'll be awake for the next 21 hours. She better not mess with my schedule.
I want to be sleeping by 3 AM my time, secure in the knowledge that McCain was crushed.

when the guests begin arriving at 6 PM to watch as the rest of the day unfolds. Having 4 kinds of pie, too. (pumpkin, banana cream, coconut custard, key lime)

Then once the race is called - bells, whistles, and fireworks!

My street in Germany will be making some NOISE!!!

4. Apparently they usually lean Republican
but this year it's more of a toss-up since there's apparently 11 undecideds among the 20 registered voters
