First of US election 2024 results were declared on Tuesday and it's a tie between Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republic candidate Donald Trump.
The chocolate chip cookies were baked, the room was overheated, and one of America's weirder election traditions was about to start: All six residents of a former hotel in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, gathering at midnight to cast their votes for president, as per a report on NYT News Service.
"This feels about normal," Tom Tillotson, 79, whose father created the tradition of early morning voting at the Balsams Grand Resort Hotel in 1960, said a few minutes before the balloting started.
The tally -- the first result of this election -- was announced 12 minutes after midnight. In a hamlet where 66.67 per cent of the registered voters are Republicans (the other two are independents) and where Nikki Haley swept the primary with all six votes, the general election ended in a tie: three votes for Kamala Harris, and three for Donald Trump, NYT News Service reported.
"I didn't see that coming," Scott Maxwell said of the split result. His vote, for Trump, came as something of a surprise, even to him. As late as 10:30 pm (ET) Monday, Maxwell said he was undecided.
Four years ago, all five votes went to Joe Biden. In 2016, Hillary Clinton got four votes and Trump two.
Dixville Notch was created for the sole purpose of turning the Balsams resort into a voting location. Neil Tillotson, the hotel's owner, won free advertising for the resort, and journalists took advantage of the in-house telephone company to deliver the town's real, albeit statistically insignificant, vote tally 12 hours before exit polls from elsewhere in the country began to trickle in.
