    The headline made me think this was something shady, but it’s actually pretty cool. A teeny-tiny little incorporated community out in the wilderness with a decades-long tradition of voting at midnight, so they can be the first in the nation to announce their results.

      Agreed. It looks like they’re having fun with it, so that makes me happy, even if I don’t agree with who they voted for.

        even if I don’t agree with who they voted for

        I mean, it’s a Republican primary, were there any better options? There was certainly at least one worse one

          Four registered Republican voters and two independents participated in the vote

          My mistake. I thought this part meant they had an open primary. It looks like they just pick what ballot they want.

          In my state, Independents don’t get to vote at all in a primary. That’s the only reason I have a party affiliation.

            NH even lets you register to vote at the polling place. (Your ballot is provisional until you prove residency)

              That seems like a positive thing.

              What a mishmash of systems we have to vote in this country!
