1st votes in Dixville Notch: Kasich & Sanders sweep at Midnight

"The town doesn't have a record of predicting much about New Hampshire's primary. In 2008, then-
Illinois Sen. Barack Obama won the Democratic primary by a 7-2 vote, even though Clinton won the state.
In 2000, George W. Bush beat John McCain, even though the Arizona senator won the state. And in 2012, Jon Huntsman won just as many votes -- two -- as Mitt Romney, the party's eventual nominee.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders got an early boost Tuesday as they won the vote in Dixville Notch, the New Hampshire hamlet that is home to the first vote in the first-in-the nation primary.
Sanders shut out Hillary Clinton, 4-0, while Kasich bested Donald Trump, 3-2.
Those were the only nine votes cast." CNN
