The AFP said that “in a possible precursor of a dramatic night ahead, Obama and Romney were tied at five votes each, a historic first…as the 10 voters in the hamlet of Dixville Notch, in northern New Hampshire, played their traditional roll of casting the first votes in the election as the clock struck midnight.”
