Dixville Notch: It's a Tie! First Votes Cast, and No Winner
The tiny town of Dixville Notch in New Hampshire is famous for its tradition: being the first place in the US to cast ballots on election night. But this year, the first vote brought a surprise – a three-way tie for the presidency.
This little town has a big tradition. Every election cycle, Dixville Notch kicks off the voting process, with residents casting ballots at midnight. It's a symbolic moment, capturing the first glimpse of the electoral landscape. And this year, it's a tie!
Three candidates received two votes each: Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Kanye West. The unexpected tie reflects the divided nature of the 2020 election, with no clear frontrunner emerging even at this early stage.
The vote count is fascinating, for sure. But even more interesting is the symbolism it represents. It’s like a tiny microcosm of the whole country, mirroring the deep political divides that have gripped the nation for years.
Of course, Dixville Notch doesn't decide the election. But it's still fun to watch, and it’s a reminder that the voting process is still going on, even if it's just starting in this tiny town. So, what's next? We'll have to wait and see how the rest of the country votes, but one thing's for sure: the 2020 election is shaping up to be a wild ride.
Stay tuned!
