Joe Biden takes all 5 votes in tiny township that is one of the first to announce results on Election Day

Quote:
Former Vice President Joe Biden took all five of the votes cast for president in Dixville Notch, a tiny New Hampshire township along the US-Canada border that is among the first places in the country to make its presidential preference known.

The ballots were cast in the minutes after midnight, becoming some of the first cast and counted on Election Day.
By tradition, all eligible voters gather in the storied "Ballot Room" at The Balsams resort in Dixville Notch to cast their secret ballots once polls open at midnight. Once every ballot is cast, votes are tallied and results announced -- hours before anywhere else, making it a favored spot for reporters and observers eager for any hints of what is to come on Election Day.

I wonder if peer pressure played a part.

If you vote out of synch, the others might get on you.

WHO F**K VOTED for Trump?

I’m watching the election on my streaming channel, it’s sooooo confusing. I didn’t vote, I REALLY DON’T UNDERSTAND politics, how can I vote if I don’t understand it?

Is it too early to call? Biden/Harris victory?

Its probably going to be a Trump victory unless mail in votes shift the tides dramatically. The upper Midwest seems to be voting Trump and that was the swing cluster that really mattered.

Would be interesting if, somehow, neither candidate gets 270. House of Reps would make Biden president, but the senate would decide VP. Would require a Biden victory in North Carolina and Wisconsin.

Looking like a 2016 repeat with the exception of Arizona probably flipping and picking up a single point from NH.

The AP results are generally the best go off of:

Trump is definitely seeming to win.

He just took Iowa and Ohio, officially.

He'll probably win Biden's home state of Pennsylvania too. And Biden will win Trump's home state of New York.

Biden left Pennsylvania at age 11.

I'm going to go by the AP results then. The fun part is the anticipation during the race.

I'm sure you could have the answer to your question if you made the effort to do some research\investigation yourself...

But as this was too hard for you:
Yes, and by extension the second question isn't answerable at this time.

The New York times is now indicating a possible swing to the left in Georgia o_O. Wasn't expecting that. Apparently Atlanta votes are still coming in. Their metrics are also pretty good. Were predicting the Trump Florida victory long before the called it, but they could be wrong about Georgia. The AP indicates they don't predict and only call races when its mathematically clear.

Reminder to not get personal. Everyone. Election results and just the results.
