It's a Tie in Dixville Notch

If the first city to vote in the U.S. is any indication of how this election will go, we are in for a tight one.

After 43 seconds of voting, Dixville Notch, New Hampshire's 10 votes divided evenly — five for President Obama, five for Republican Mitt Romney.

Dixville Notch is traditioanlly the first city to cast votes in each Presidential election.

New Hampshire, a swing state, has four electoral votes. That may not sound like much, but in a tight election it could be decisive. Al Gore learned that the hard way in 2000, when he won the nation's popular vote but lost in the electoral college to George W. Bush. If Gore had won New Hampshire, he'd have taken the White House.
