First U.S. Election Results Are Now In From New Hampshire: Trump 16 Votes. Biden 10 Votes

Newsweek: Trump Leads After New Hampshire Villages Announce First U.S. Election Results

President Donald Trump held a total lead of 6 votes over Democratic nominee Joe Biden after the first votes of 2020 presidential election were reported in two small New Hampshire villages early on Tuesday morning. 

Trump won a midnight vote in the village of Millsfield by a 16-5 margin, while Biden had a 5-0 victory in nearby Dixville Notch. 

Trump's Millsfield win echoed the 16 votes he received in the village in 2016, with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton receiving four votes and Sen. Bernie Sanders getting a single vote. Clinton won the 2016 Dixville Notch vote, getting four votes to Trump's two. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and former GOP nominee Sen. Mitt Romney each had one vote. 


Former vice president Joe Biden won all five of the votes cast for president in the tiny New Hampshire township of Dixville Notch, becoming the first candidate to do so in 60 years. Voters in Dixville Notch traditionally cast their ballots just after midnight and theirs are some of the first cast and counted on Election Day. 

All five votes for president went to Biden, but voters were split when choosing candidates for the House and Senate, although the Democratic candidates still prevailed. 


WNU Editor: Trump won a midnight vote in the village of Millsfield by a 16-5 margin. The same as last time. Biden had a 5-0 victory in nearby Dixville Notch. In 2016 Clinton got 4 votes, Trump received 2.
