In a story straight out of a political drama 🎬, the tiny New Hampshire community of Dixville Notch made history (again!) by delivering a dead-even split in its symbolic midnight vote. Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump snagged 3 ballots each as polls opened at 12:01 AM Tuesday ⏰—kicking off U.S. Election Day with a bang!
This cozy 6-voter town (yes, SIX! 🏡) has been first-in-the-nation to cast ballots since 1960, becoming a quirky pop culture moment. While symbolic, its ‘midnight magic’ often intrigues politicos—Dixville’s picks aligned with national winners in 9 of the last 15 elections! 🔮
Why does this matter? For #ElectionNerds, it’s a fun tradition 🎉. For strategists? A teaser for battleground states. As sunrise voting begins nationwide, all eyes turn to whether this tie foreshadows a nail-biter… or just small-town charm. 🇺🇸🗳️
