Dixville Notch, New Hampshire - Hillary Clinton got off to a very early lead in the 2016 presidential election, winning over the voters of Dixville Notch by a 4-2 margin over Donald Trump.
Polls in the tiny New Hampshire towns of Dixville Notch, Hart's Location and Millsfield opened just after midnight Tuesday and closed as soon as everyone had voted. These die-hard voters are proud to have the first word on the big vote.
While Democrat Clinton won half the Dixville Notch votes, Libertarian Gary Johnson took one and 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney got a write-in vote.
Under New Hampshire state law, communities with fewer than 100 voters can get permission to open their polls at midnight and close them as soon as all registered voters have cast their ballots.
In Millsfield, Trump edged past Clinton by 16 votes to four in Millsfield. One voter wrote in the name of Bernie Sanders, a Democratic presidential candidate who lost the nomination to Clinton.
But Clinton won Hart's Location, where she beat Trump 17 votes to 14.
