| Description | Before Tuesday’s election, a pair of tiny New Hampshire towns are focused on an entirely different race — which one will be the first in the nation to cast votes for president.
Polls open at 12:01 a.m. at both Hart’s Location, smack in the center of White Mountain National Forest and Dixville Notch in the upper New Hampshire wilderness. The competing towns — 80 miles apart — have about 100 residents between them.
About 36 voters are on a checklist at Hart’s Location and about 30 are queued up to vote at the Balsam Wilderness Ski Area lodge at Dixville Notch. For the first time this election, voters had better have identification — the state recently adopted a law requiring photo I.D. (Voters without photo ID can fill out “challenged voter affidavit.”) |
