Election data

Gotcha. I'm amazed you could find town-specific information for the General Election. I'd be curious to find such data if you want to let me know. Moncrief — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moncrief ( talkcontribs) 04:53, 27 January 2004 (UTC) reply

Incorrect election data

For the 1964 election the article states:

General Election: (8 voters)

  • Barry M. Goldwater - 8
  • Lyndon B. Johnson - 1

Eight voters total but 9 votes cast? What is up here? One of the numbers incorrect, or did someone vote twice or what? I can't find any references working on the page that work. Cheers, Rothery 12:45, 2 September 2007 (UTC) reply

2008

I logged on as Larry King showed the results, hit edit, and realized I had not heard one or two numbers. I refreshed the article page... and there were the results, less than a minute after they were announced. What a website. Fishal ( talk) 05:11, 8 January 2008 (UTC) reply

"barely challenged icon of voting first"

This phrase is pretty meaningless. Any reason it should stay? 86.149.131.137 ( talk) 01:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC) reply

Did they forget clinton?

"In 2008, Senator Barack Obama became the first Democrat to win the community's vote in a presidential election since 1968. This is largely attributed to Democrats outnumbering the Republicans"

Did i miss something? Didn't they pick Clinton to win?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ang0075 ( talkcontribs) 05:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC) reply

No. In 1992 Clinton came in 4th. In 1996 Clinton came in 2nd.-- Ibagli rnbs mbs ( Talk) 07:04, 4 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Presidential election results

please, tell me, this section is a joke? I heard a rumor this was an encyclopedia, maybe it was just that - a rumor. --09:05, 4 November 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.52.228.68 ( talk)

15 + 6 = 19?

Am I missing something? User:LaFoiblesse 2008-11-04 15:47 (GMT)

One of three explanations: Some kind of tallying error (either on the media's part or the election board). Vote fraud. Or (most likely) last minute voter registrations (which are legal in NH). I'm not sure why this was removed. 131.96.47.25 ( talk) 01:15, 5 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Dixville Notch population

The population figure of 75 appears to be based on Census figures for Dixville Township (see, for example, http://www.census.gov/popest/research/eval-estimates/subcounty/SC2000F_NH.txt ). The township may be larger than just Dixville Notch.

In a story about the voting on January 10, 2012, the Boston Globe reported, "The town clerk, Rick Erwin, says that the nine registered voters make up the entire Dixville Notch population."

Deletion of the individual election results

I've deleted individual election results. This is a clear violation of excessive listings of statistics. The main problem is that this data is infinite into the future, so that by 2100 the list will be 90% of a page about a different topic. If you think this is notable, you should attempt to create a separate list page for the information. To do so you will need a reliable citation that discusses this data as a whole. See: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (stand-alone lists) Cheers, Dkriegls ( talk) 19:53, 23 May 2012 (UTC) reply

The fact that it will be a problem in the future is not a reason to delete information today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.49.29 ( talk) 19:16, 15 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Elections and corruption

Someone should really look into the bank holdings of the residents of this village to see if they have been influenced by contributions. You can figure out what that means. 101.51.135.9 ( talk) 07:55, 6 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Population

We could use a little explanation why a village with 12 (??) voters contains a huge hotel. Is the hotel outside the limits of the village? Needs clarification. Cross Reference ( talk) 14:20, 4 April 2013 (UTC) reply

The voting population of 12 is in fact for the entire Dixville Township, as the "village" has no legal existence, so yes, the hotel is within the area that has the population of 12. There really is nothing else there except for the hotel, so anybody working there is going to be living and voting somewhere else, whether in Colebrook or somewhere farther away. -- Ken Gallager ( talk) 13:38, 11 April 2013 (UTC) reply

Is the town at the border of Canada? 210.0.158.154 ( talk) 09:58, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply

The first paragraph says it is 20 miles (32 km) south of the border. Do you think the article should say more? Ken Gallager ( talk) 12:20, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
