As Americans prepare for Election Day, early voting in the small New Hampshire town of Dixville Notch has set the tone for a highly competitive race. Both Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, and former President Donald Trump, running for the Republicans, each received three votes in this community. Dixville Notch has a unique tradition of starting its polls at midnight due to state election laws allowing towns with fewer than 100 residents to vote early and close their polls once all registered voters have cast their ballots. This mirrors the close national polling, with the race still too close to call. In 2020, the hamlet’s residents voted unanimously for Joe Biden, marking only the second time a candidate had swept the midnight votes since the tradition began in 1960.
