I Voted Today in the "1st in the Nation" NH Primary



I just returned from voting in the New Hampshire Primary.  

"Primary?" you say.  "You're voting in the Republican primary?"

I'm voting in the NH Primary and there is a Democratic ballot.  It's one of 17 states designated "Open Primary" although it is technically a "semi-Open Primary" state for reasons stated below: 
It is not a closed primary, in which votes can be cast in a party primary only by people registered with that party. Undeclared voters — those not registered with any party — can vote in either party primary. However, it does not meet a common definition of an open primary, because people registered as Republican or Democrat on voting day cannot cast ballots in the primary of the other party.[1]  Wikipedia
Reported results thus far from our two smallest precincts who voted 12:01AM this morning.

Dixville Notch, NH  has 9 registered voters. They turn out 100%.

         Barack Obama    3 votes
         Mitt Romney        2 votes
         Jon Huntsman      2 votes
         Newt Gingrich      1 vote                                 
         Ron Paul              1 votes
