(The Hill) — Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are tied in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, as the township’s six votes resulted in a split for the presidential nominees, CNN reported early Tuesday morning.

Four Republicans and two undeclared voters participated, according to the outlet.

The outcome was the first of this election and was announced 12 minutes after midnight, The New York Times said.

In 2020, the township cast five votes for President Joe Biden and in 2016, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earned four of the seven votes. Trump garnered two votes that election cycle, and one went to the Libertarian candidate.

In January, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, who dropped out of the race in March, won all six votes in the town.

In the gubernatorial race, former Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) received five votes.

The results come as The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s national polling aggregate showed that Harris and Trump are neck and neck — tied at 48.4 percent — early Tuesday morning. In the Granite State as a whole, the vice president leads her GOP rival with 53.3 percent to 42.5 percent.
