Voting and counting in minutes.. These are the first results of the American elections news

According to what opinion polls predicted, the six voters in the small village of Dixville Notch in the woods of New Hampshire, on the northern border of the United States with Canada, did not succeed in separating the candidates in the US presidential elections.

As has been its custom since 1960, voting began in this village at midnight on Tuesday, making it hold the title of “First in the Nation.”

The voting process took only a few minutes, as well as the counting of votes and the announcement of the results, and 3 votes went to the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris And 3 more for her Republican competitor Donald Trump.

Election laws in the small state of Vermont – located in the northeast of the country for municipalities with a population of less than 100 people – allow polling stations to open from midnight and close when all those registered on the lists have cast their votes.

The number of people entitled to vote in America is 230 million, but only about 160 million of them are registered. However, approximately half of the 50 states in the United States allow registration on Election Day, while citizens can vote without registering in the state of North Dakota.

More than 70 million people have already voted through postal ballot boxes or in early voting centers for this election, which has been described as the most competitive and exciting in the history of the American elections, amid fears of violence that may follow the announcement of the results.
