Three New Hampshire towns with tiny populations have already voted. Dixville Notch, Hart’s Location, and Millsfield open the polls at 12:01 a.m. on election day and close them shortly afterwards. The results:
Dixville Notch: 4 Clinton, 2 Trump, 1 Johnson, 1 write-in for Mitt Romney.
Hart’s Location: 17 Trump, 14 Clinton, 3 Johnson, 2 write-ins for Bernie Sanders
Millsfield: 16 Trump, 4 Clinton, 1 write-in for Bernie Sanders
Composite:
Trump: 35
Clinton: 22
Johnson: 4
Sanders: 3
Romney: 1
With 4 votes out of 65 cast, Johnson has 6.15%, so he’s on his way to +5% 😉
there was 1 write-in for “John Kasich/Sanders” at Hart’s Location
I have read one news report that had the results for Trump and Clinton in Hart’s location reversed: Clinton 17, Trump 14. Who is correct?
Anybody know how to get votecastr results to show? All I get is an article.
We Libertarians blew it when we nominated Weld. It’s obvious the only reason he agreed to run was that he thought it would help Hillary. Once that became apparent, interest in Johnson waned. But it does look like the Sanders supporters aren’t going to go away quietly.
^ Johnson’s support from the same two precincts (Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location) quadrupled from 2012. (1 vote to 4)
Not sure how these three precincts tell you that Weld was a bad choice since that’s all this post deals with.
Blowhard Asshole 35
Corrupt Scumbag 22
Intelligent Voters 9
More early returns:
According to Pacific Daily News, from Guam:
“With 67 of 67 precincts reporting, Clinton had received 71.63 percent of the vote. Trump received 24.16 percent, and Socialist candidate Emidio Soltysik received 4.22 percent.
Of course, Guam’s results are meaningless — the island has no members of the Electoral College.”
They didn’t report the actual vote numbers, yet.
@RJ – When the votes are counted, you’ll probably find Johnson with around 5% of the vote. (Just like in these three districts.) He was doing much better in the polls until Weld started doing his Pro-Hillary antics. That’s when Johnson started to lose ground as non-Libertarians, who could have put Johnson up in the 10+% area, really started wondering what the Johnson?Weld ticket actually stood for. Larry Sharpe would have been the much better choice.
“When the votes are counted, you’ll probably find Johnson with around 5% of the vote. (Just like in these three districts.) He was doing much better in the polls until Weld started doing his Pro-Hillary antics.”
All third party candidates that are not pure gadflies go down in polling as the race gets toward the end. This is true cycle after cycle.
Weld actually helped the ticket by bringing credibility as a former Governor. Governing experience is rare in third party politics.
@Ramage – You need to re-read Weld’s pro-Hillary comments and tell us again how they help the Libertarian Party get votes from the Democrats.
@RJ – So you’re saying Johnson was a gadfly? Head of the Party that made all 50 states and had actual leadership experience?
It will be interesting to see if Gary Johnson wins New Mexico.
Not a single vote for Jill…that’s depressing.
“@RJ – So you’re saying Johnson was a gadfly? Head of the Party that made all 50 states and had actual leadership experience?”
Reread my post again.
Nader, Perot, Anderson, all went down in the homestretch.
Johnson is going to benefit a lot from pure protest votes that don’t know who Weld is. He’s getting my vote in Indiana because he’s the only person other than Trump or Hillary on the general. I’d vote for Evan McMullin if I had the opportunity, and if I wrote him in it wouldn’t even count. I think he could get 3% nationally, which would be triple the best Libertarian showing ever if so (Clark 1980 – 1.06%) and I think more than half those votes wouldn’t even be philosophically libertarian.
@WS: Sorry, latest polls I saw showed Clinton taking New Mexico.
How many people did they poll.There has to be a silent majority.
Did you see the video by David Duke The KKK supports Donald Trump.Maybe that video will change people’s minds.
According to the Guam Election Commission, at:
http://gec.guam.gov/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/2016-ge-unofficial-summary.htm
The votes for President were:
1. CLINTON, Hillary Rodham (DEM). . . 22,972 71.63
1. TRUMP, Donald J (REP) . . . . . 7,747 24.16
1. SOLTYSIK, Emidio (SOC) . . . . . 1,352 4.22
Total . . . . . . . . . 32,071
Maybe Guam will inspire the Elections.
I don’t recall Perot fading down the stretch. When he re-entered the race, he was at 8% and finished at 19%.
Can this race still be thrown into the House of Representatives.Or will the supreme Court decide.Something that will be a discouragement to Republican voters.I wish it would happen.wouldnt it be strange if violence breaks out tonight to.I can think of reasons why people should stay home on Election day.Elections could be rigged.Just look at the 1960 Elections in Chicago when Mayor Richard Daley helped John F Kennedy get Elected.Its in any book about the 1960 Election and John F Kennedy.In 1968 Mayor Daley wasn’t there for Hubert Humphrey and Nixon won Illinois.In 72 the Chicago political machinery of Mayor Richard Daley wasn’t there for George McGovern and Nixon won Illinois again.Now Chicago has Mayor Emmanuel Rahm.I don’t think he will let a Republican like Donald Trump win in Cook County.
I want to also see and end racism and bigotry against group racial or religious.The 1960s did anything that is Right.It brought new religious and philosophical ideas to this country.we need a new 1960s revival.In 1971 the Libertarian party was formed and the 1960s made it possible.
NO reporting of ANY precinct results until ALL polls are closed.
Much too difficult for the many MORONS in the U.S.A. — esp. in some rural boondocks areas with no population increases since 1776.
TomP – When Perot re-entered the race, Gallup had him at 8% in early October, but he went up to 20% in about 3 weeks. Gallup’s last poll, in November, actually had him back down at 14%. So he faded in the polls, even if not at the ballot box. Also, Gallup had him at 39% and leading the field in June.
