In the United States, presidential elections began on Tuesday, November 5. Initial results are coming in from the town of Dixville Notch in New Hampshire. This is reported by CNN.
Dixville Notch is located along the U.S.-Canada border in the northern part of New Hampshire. The polling station in the village opened and closed immediately after midnight. This has been a tradition for the residents since 1960. After each election, votes are counted here and results are announced several hours earlier than in other states of the U.S.
The publication reports that four Republicans and two undeclared voters cast their ballots in the village. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump each received three votes.
In 2020, the village voters unanimously chose Joe Biden, while in 2016, four out of seven votes went to Hillary Clinton.
