According to the 2010 census, the New Hampshire town has only 12 residents. Thus, all of the ballots have already been counted and reported.
Hillary Clinton came away with the victory, garnering 4 votes to Donald Trump’s 2, notes CNN.
Gary Johnson and, surprisingly, Mitt Romney received 1 vote each. Jill Stein chalked up none.
According to Politico, Dixville Notch has been holding its early hours elections since 1960. That year, all 9 of the town’s voters backed Richard Nixon.
More recently, the outcome was less decisive.
In 2012, the townspeople cast their ballots evenly between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, giving each 5 votes.
However, it does appear that one voter remains dedicated to seeing Romney in office.
