New Hampshire, where America’s first 2024 election result was announced just after midnight. Three votes were cast for Kamala Harris and three for Donald Trump.
Our colleagues at Newsday have been speaking to one of those voters, Les Otten – a Republican who voted Democrat for the first time.
He says he voted for Harris because she is promising loyalty to voters, while Trump is seeking loyalty from them, which Otten doesn’t believe is the right attitude.

“If the person that is elected believes that all of us have input and can form the government… that’s very different than if they’re saying to us ‘We need to follow what I say’.”
The tiny community has a tradition of midnight voting, but most US polling stations aren’t open yet. That’ll change in about 15 minutes, when Vermont residents can start voting.
