The nation's first Election Day votes were cast and counted just after midnight in a pair of mountain hamlets, with 35 votes for President Bush besting challenger John Kerry's 21. Ralph Nader received one vote.

The first Tuesday votes came from the northern New Hampshire community of Hart's Location, where 16 voters chose Bush, 14 went with Kerry and one chose Nader. Minutes later, the 26 registered voters in Dixville Notch, about 50 miles to the north, split 19 for Bush and 7 for Kerry.

The tiny communities since 1948 sporadically have been taking advantage of a state law that allows communities to close polls early if all registered voters have cast ballots.

In 2000, both communities chose President Bush over Democrat Al Gore. In Hart's Location, Bush won 17-13. In Dixville Notch, about 50 miles to the north, Bush had 21, Gore five and Ralph Nader one vote.

David E. Johnson, CEO of Strategic Vision, e-mails:

"At Strategic Vision, we have been reviewing and conducting exit polls and do not know where the media reports came from. We are showing a slight advantage for Bush in Florida by 1 point."

I just refreshed the page and they removed the call for Bush. Apparently, it has not been determined yet.

I'm too excited to eat supper.

And I'm starting to itch (pesky nervous hives!). Where's the Benadryl....

I love this Country!

Joseph, as the night goes on, the margin between Bush and Kerry will level out. I'm betting that they'll level out at Bush 51% and Kerry 48%. Just a hunch.

 

[Joseph_Botwinick]

Bush 55%

Kerry 44%

 

[Joseph_Botwinick]

You are probably right.

I am really waiting for the electoral votes to come in. Way too excited.
