US Election: Joe Biden Secures First Victory In New Hampshire Town

The Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden secured the first Election Day victory while Trump took the second as two tiny New Hampshire towns with a combined population of 26 announced the first US results just after midnight.

According to Daily Mail, the final result posted on a handwritten poster board by Dixville Notch at 12.03am on Tuesday, November 3, showed that all five votes went to Biden.

The town near the Canadian border has been among the first in the US to reveal election results for the past 60 years, handing Hillary Clinton one of her first wins in 2016.

Meanwhile 12 miles away in Millsfield, ballot boxes also opened at 12.01am, with all votes coming in just after Dixville Notch. President Donald Trump won that contest, with 16 votes to Biden’s five.
