Voting begins in New Hampshire


John Edwards has already got two votes in New Hampshire.

Voting in the state's presidential primary began at midnight in the tiny town of Dixville Notch. Ballots by all 17 registered voters have already been counted.

Among Democrats, Barack Obama got seven votes; Edwards, two; and Bill Richardson one. Hillary Clinton did not receive any.

Among Republicans, John McCain got four votes; Mitt Romney, 2; and Rudy Guiliani, one.

The results are statistically meaningless and ultimately unimportant, but Dixville Notch has long used the publicity to promote the local ski resort, which Dome heartily recommends.
