Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has won the midnight election in Dixville Notch, N.H., in a landslide.
Biden won all five votes in the small New Hampshire township that historically tallies their results just after midnight. In doing so, he gained the first victory on Election Day.
"The last candidate to win in a landslide there was Richard Nixon in 1960," tweeted Fox News multimedia reporter Rob DiRienzo.
CORONAVIRUS PARTIALLY INTERRUPTS 3 TINY NEW HAMPSHIRE TOWNS MIDNIGHT VOTING TRADITION
Nearby Millsfield, roughly 12 miles to the south of Dixville Notch, also voted for president just after the stroke of midnight. President Donald Trump won early Tuesday, with 16 votes to Biden's five.
Located in a remote part of northern New Hampshire, about 20 miles south of the Canadian border, Dixville Notch has been an icon of midnight voting for decades.
Through the years the media began to ritually swarm the town on election eves to watch the first tallies come in. By tradition, the election was held in the storied Ballot Room at the Balsams Resort, a hotel in the center of the town. Presidential candidates from Ronald Reagan to John McCain made sure to make the trip up to voters at the Notch.

This year was the 60th anniversary of the tradition, which started in November 1960.
TRUMP SAYS HE'LL WIN MICHIGAN EASILY AT FINAL CAMPAIGN RALLY
Tom Tillotson, the town moderator in Dixville Notch, said last week that there would normally be a big food spread and a lot of media crammed into a small space to watch the voting. But that's no longer possible because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Sixty years — and unfortunately, we can't celebrate it," he said.
The township, however, hasn't always predicted the election's eventual winner, as Hillary Clinton won Dixville Notch in 2016, despite Trump going on to win the Electoral College.
Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg won the primary there earlier this year, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., won in 2016.

For years, voting was held in the wood-paneled room filled with political memorabilia at the Balsams, which closed in 2011. Some of those items were brought over to a former culinary school on the property, the setting for Tuesday's vote.

Remember the election might not be called for 24-48 hours yet, PA and other states need time to count the VBM. Today's votes might reflect only Election day turnout, but soon we will be rid of Fat Fuck shit for brains.

Trump lost..soo sad
First votes counted, Dixville Notch, Donald Trump, Joe Biden
north america
Unanimous result as first US votes are counted
November 3, 2020 11:08pm
A battle over concession, swing states and legal challenges may all contribute to an extended delay in finalising results for America's most important election.
The first Election Day votes have been counted after the clocked ticked past midnight on the East Coast of the United States.
In the tiny township of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire on the US-Canada border, Les Otten was the first to cast his vote.
The polling tradition – a national spectacle – began in 1960 in the wood-panelled ballot room of The Balsams Resort.
This year, all five midnight votes went to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and there were none for Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
“I’m a lifelong Republican, voting for Joe Biden for President,” Mr Otten said in a video posted to Twitter.
“I don’t agree with him on a lot of issues but I believe it’s time to find what unites us, not what divides us.
“It’s time to rebuild the heart of what makes us a great country. That starts with electing leaders of character who are truthful and will put the country’s welfare ahead of all else, and who will show respect for all people regardless of their gender, their race, their religion or their political beliefs.”
Mr Otten, a developer, was unsuccessful in his bid to become the Republican governor of Maine in 2010 when his run ended in the primary.
He moved to Dixville Notch after its voting tradition was jeopardised by the departure of one resident.
“The difficulty with such a small population is that you need at least five people in order to fill the positions required to hold an election,” Nicholas Chong Yen from the New Hampshire Attorney-General’s Office told Fox News in February.
“They were missing one of those critical election officials necessary to hold an election, specifically this upcoming presidential primary.”
The Election Day process takes less than five minutes from when the polls close to when the votes are counted and then announced.
“I think it’s democracy as the founding fathers envisioned it and that’s exciting,” another one of the five voters, Joseph Casey, told Fox News.
The system has been compared to Pennsylvania’s groundhog – “not necessarily predictive”.
In 2016, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton won four of eight resident votes while Donald Trump claimed two, Libertarian Gary Johnson got one vote and there was a write-in for Mitt Romney.
The Boston Globe reported the town hit its peak in 1988 with 38 votes.
Dixville Notch is usually among three small towns to vote at midnight and while Millsfield, with 22 registered voters, also went to the polls as planned, the 48 voters from Hart’s Location will this year make their picks between 11am and 7pm on Tuesday due to COVID-19 concerns.
However, the votes out of Millsfield have since trickled in and tell a different story with 16 for Mr Trump and five for Mr Biden.
Forbes political reporter Andrew Solender noted this was still a swing to the Democrats when compared to the votes out of each town in 2016.
New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner on Monday predicted at least 800,000 ballots would be cast - topping the record set in 2016 of 755,850.
“I wouldn’t be shocked if we had tens of thousands more than that, but I’m being conservative,” he said, according to the Associated Press.
