After months of suspense and uncertainty, the first-in-the-nation midnight voting tradition in Dixville Notch will continue for the 2020 primary.
In addition to Tillotson and Otten, the other residents are Tillotson's wife and son, Deborah and Tanner, as well as Joe Casey, a caretaker and employee of the property.
Although it is most famous for it, Dixville did not invent the midnight vote. Millsfield, a neighboring town with about 20 residents, was the original home of midnight voting in New Hampshire starting in 1936. Nearby Hart's Location also holds a midnight vote. "One of the most unique things about this is that 100 percent of the people of the town have to vote," Otten said."Imagine the results that we would have, imagine how our country would be governed, if all of us participated.""This country continues to have a problem with voter turnout — maybe it'll be higher this year because things are so divided, but who knows?" Tillotson said.
