In 2000 the residents of Dixville Notch, N.H., voted for Bush over Gore. In 2004 they picked Bush over Kerry. But this year, the small New Hampshire village (with just 21 registered voters) went Democratic. With 15 ballots cast for Obama, the residents of Dixville Notch voted just after midnight, as they have every election year since 1960. The village has become known as the first place in the United States to vote.
The last Democrat the voters of Dixville Notch picked was Hubert Humphrey over Richard Nixon in 1968.
