And it’s Obama in a landslide!

Well, sort of. In two small New Hampshire towns, the voting is complete. Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location each started their voting this morning, right after midnight.

According to the articles, Hart’s Location has 29 registered voters, edging out the 21 that Dixville Notch boasts. In both towns, all registered voters cast ballots.

Dixville Notch has done midnight voting since 1960, and Hart’s Location resumed their practice of early voting (they had done midnight voting in the 1940s) in 1996.

Combined, the two locations cast 32 votes for Obama and 16 for McCain. A third-party candidate received two votes, both from Hart’s Location.
