Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have tied with three votes each in the tiny New Hampshire township of Dixville Notch, kicking off Election Day in one of the first places in the country to report its presidential preference.

The unincorporated township, located along the US-Canada border in New Hampshire's northern tip, opened and closed its poll just after midnight ET in a tradition that dates back to 1960. Four Republicans and two undeclared voters participated.

While Dixville Notch isn't always predictive of the eventual winner - or even the state's pick - its annual production, despite a dwindling population, is a success story for local leaders and a reason to smile for political junkies eager for an early taste of the day's events.

By tradition, all eligible voters gather at the now-dormant Balsams Hotel in Dixville Notch to cast their secret ballots once polls open at midnight. Once every ballot is cast, votes are tallied and results announced - hours before anywhere else, making it a destination for national reporters, who often outnumber the voters.

1. Well, there's at least one republican that did not vote TSF!

hmm so that is 25% of their republicans. Hope that is a trend.

edit to add 'at least' one republican. i should not assume the other Kamala votes came from the undeclared.

There's three right there.
