00:00Well, we all knew it would be a close race, but in the itty-bitty New Hampshire town of
00:04Dixville Notch, Harris and Trump have tied.
00:06The unincorporated town is the first to cast ballots and tally up the entire population's
00:11votes, because there are only six people who live there.
00:14Voters rushed to the polls shortly after midnight, and shortly after midnight they were closed
00:18again, the results being three votes for Kamala Harris and three votes for Donald Trump.
00:23The town has been voting just after midnight since 1960, giving themselves a little national
00:27recognition every election cycle.
00:30One of the township's voters called the whole thing a civics lesson for the country, outlining
00:34just how important casting a ballot is every time you're able.
00:37However, the split in the polls this year in Dixville Notch is out of the ordinary.
00:40In both 2016 and 2020, the township voted for Democrats, with Joe Biden getting every
00:45single vote from every single citizen four years ago.
00:48Les Otten, a 75-year-old who says he's been a Republican since he was seven, says this
00:52time around he's voting blue, telling CNN,
00:55Nowhere in the Pledge of Allegiance does it say anything about pledging your allegiance
00:58to a person.
00:59And I think at the end of the day, Donald Trump has made it clear that you need to pledge
01:02allegiance to him, and he alone can fix this.
01:05And that is as anti-democratic as I can understand.
