Harris-Trump showdown: First votes cast at midnight in tiny New Hampshire township

The first results of the 2024 election day are in from Dixville Notch, New Hampshire with former President Donald Trump and Vice-president Kamala Harris splitting the tiny town’s six votes. 

The final count read out by officials around 12:10 a.m. on Tuesday morning were 3 for Trump and 3 for Harris. 

The six citizens of Dixville Notch, which is a remote unincorporated township in New Hampshire’s North Country region, cast their ballots at midnight. 

Before voters cast their ballots, Cory Pesaturo, three-time world accordion champion, performed an accordion rendition of the national anthem as voters held their hands over their hearts.

The tiny village began its tradition of midnight voting in 1960. Four years ago, then-former Vice President Biden swept all five votes cast in the tiny township near the U.S.-Canadian border, en route to his White House victory over Trump.
