George W. Bush has his first win, in Dixville Notch..> While most Americans were sleeping, the few dozen voters in two tiny New Hampshire mountain hamlets cast the nation's first votes early Tuesday. They chose the Texas governor over Democrat Al Gore. In Hart's Location, the vote was Bush 17, Gore 13 and 1 write-in for Jeffrey Peters, a perennial presidential candidate from nearby Jackson. Hart's Location has 33 registered voters. Fifty miles to the north, all 27 registered voters in Dixville Notch went to the polls shortly after midnight. The vote tally there was Bush 21, Gore 5, and Nader 1. By state law, polls must be open between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., but nothing prevents a town from opening the polls earlier. Hart's Location began doing just that in 1948 because nearly everyone in town worked for the railroad and many had to be at work before normal voting hours. Dixville's first early vote was in the 1960 general election. Reflecting the state's then-solid Republican leanings, Republican Richard Nixon beat Democrat John Kennedy, 9-0. Kennedy triumphed nationally in one of the closest presidential elections ever. "It's not close here, but I believe it will be close in New Hampshire and across the country," said Stephen Barba, one of Dixville Notch's nine independents.
