Sanders and Kasich were quick to thank the good folks of the tiny town that traditionally votes at midnight during presidential elections and primaries for the “momentum” and “support”:
Honored to have the unanimous support of the people of Dixville Notch. First votes cast in the #FITN.

Historically, Dixville Notch has been pretty accurate at picking the eventual GOP nominee:
Dixville Notch former winners in GOP primaries: Reagan (1980), HW (1988), Dole (1996), W (2000), McCain (2008), Romney (2012).

When you include results from the equally tiny towns of Hart’s Location and Millsfield that also voted at midnight, it’s a three-way-tie for the GOP with Ted Cruz, Kasich and Trump all with 9 votes each:
