Voting Begins In New Hampshire Primary

(since no one has started a thread about this yet)
Slate's news story on the start of the NH primaries

Slate comments on the lead that Romney still has and focuses on the issue that many others have raised -- how fast is his support slipping and how fast is the support for other candidates rising? Although it seems clear from polls and surveys that he will win, the real question is the margin of the win. His sound bite on "I like to fire people" has gone viral and although most know that he referred to getting rid of service providers that were not providing a good service, it hasn't helped him a bit.

From another story -- voting began at midnight, which means they've had about 10 hours to check exit polls and so forth. I'm not sure when the first reports on percentages will come in. Many voters seem to be undecided at this point.

awseome, please keep us informed if you can, hope the good doc wins

These are some of the first votes from Dixville Notch, New Hampshire. Only nine folks in town with their polls opening at midnight.

Not a very good comparison to the rest of the state.

Dixville Notch, New Hampshire

(topping this thread for voting results stories)

The Dixville Notch results are interesting -- I didn't know that they were also holding the Democratic primary at the same time. An interesting factlet is that since 1968, the winner in Dixville Notch has been the Republican nominee for president.

(Edited to add the link to the blog, Five Thirty Eight, which is projecting today's votes based on polls.)

I bet 5€, that at some point the lights will go out for a brief minute. Who will take the bet?

You can follow the counting of the precincts here.

After the first two precincts it says Romney 7 (37%), Paul 5 (26%), Huntsman 4 (21%), Gingrich 2 (11%) and Perry 1 (5%) other candidates at 0 votes.

Votes won't start rolling in till shortly after 7pm EST.

We should have seen some entry polls by now though... any links?



Latest tweet from Romney -

Together, we can restore America’s greatness. Stand with me

Does this guy ever actually say anything tangible?????

First exit poll information I have seen, based on just over a 1000 interviews shows Paul@27% in second to Romney @29%

Can't be sure of the reliability of the source.
