Election 2016: Dixville Notch weighs in

And ... we're off! The first in-person votes of the 2016 presidential election are in, from Dixville Notch, N.H., by custom the "first in the nation" to cast ballots. The votes, customarily cast beginning at midnight East Coast time, may or may not be a bellwether of what's to come. But if nothing else, it's a moment of civic tranquility before the real madness begins, hours from now.

The vote totals:

Hillary Clinton: 4 votes

Donald Trump: 2 votes

Gary Johnson (Libertarian): 1 vote

         ... and in a hearty blast from the past ...

Mitt Romney: 1 vote

Stay tuned ...
