Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley won all six votes in Dixville Notch, N.H., which kicked off first-in-the-nation primary voting at midnight early Tuesday morning.
Of the six votes, four are registered Republicans and two are undeclared voters. The remaining voters in the Granite State will head to the polls later on Tuesday.
Although the small resort community is too small a sample size to signal direction of the voters’ preferences, Haley touted the votes in a post on X, formerly Twitter, early Tuesday morning.
“A great start to a great day in New Hampshire,” the former South Carolina governor wrote. “Thank you Dixville Notch!”
In the 2016 GOP presidential primary, former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) garnered 3 votes, former President Trump got 2 votes and other GOP candidates only got one vote.
Haley hopes to make a strong showing in New Hampshire, where undeclared voters are allowed to participate in primaries.
Recent polls suggest Haley performs well among independents and moderate voters in New Hampshire. Her supporters hope can make her candidacy competitive with Trump, the other major candidate in the race.
Many other candidates in the race ended their campaigns ahead of the first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire. Most recently, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) dropped out on Sunday.
Trump still leads New Hampshire with 50.6 percent of the vote, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s polling average. Hale is currently at 36.8 percent.
