First US election day votes in Dixville Notch split 3-3

In a US presidential election that appears to be incredibly close, it was fitting that the first votes cast on election day were evenly split, with three for Donald Trump and three for Kamala Harris.

The tiny New Hampshire resort town of Dixville Notch has a tradition dating back to 1960 of being the first in the country to complete in-person voting.

The town’s six voters began casting their ballots on the stroke of midnight on Tuesday and the vote count was complete 15 minutes later.

In an election where tensions have run high, the setting in Dixville Notch could not have been more congenial.

Voting took place in the living room of the Tillotson House, with cookies and coffee and a couple of very friendly dogs.
