(130,895 posts)A handful of New Hampshire primary voters were truly first in the nation: Three rural New Hampshire towns Dixville Notch, Millsfield, and Harts Location opened their polls at 12:01 am on Tuesday, February 11, and reported their informal results within the hour.
These New Hampshire residents were the very first to cast their day-of ballots in the 2020 Democratic primary, and their midnight voting honors a tradition thats been around for years. New Hampshire has long prized its position as the first primary in the country, timing that allows it to claim that it is first in the nation, even though its election is now preceded by the Iowa caucuses. The midnight votes take this custom one step further, enabling these towns to claim they are first in the state.
The limited pool of early votes was ultimately distributed across a wide spectrum of candidates: Sen. Amy Klobuchar currently leads with eight votes, followed by Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, who picked up four votes each. Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg also did well in Dixville Notch specifically, where he won three of the five residents votes as a write-in candidate, winning both the Republican and Democratic primaries.
