By tradition, the unincorporated village of Dixville Notch, N.H., located in Coos County, is one of two locations that get to cast the first votes of the presidential election just after midnight on Election Day. The other location, also in New Hampshire, is Hart's Location.

This year, Dixville Notch residents cast their votes in a tie: five votes each for President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. It was the first time in Dixville Notch's history that a tie was recorded.

In 2008, President Obama carried Dixville Notch, beating Sen. John McCain 15 votes to six.
Only ten people voted this year in Dixville Notch, where 21 voted in 2008.

This voter apathy may cost Obama the election.
Or maybe somebody locked the other 10 Dems in their houses so they couldn't vote.

Well....Do you expect them to leave town or go outside their families for stray pussy, or stay with what you know best and can get without effort ?

It just figures that Cooter would have the lowdown on a town name Dicksville.
