Midnight towns (NH) **results thread**

[JerryArkansas]

I love how actual votes have been counted and the usual suspects are already trying to spin these small towns as somehow being mystical places unlike the dozens and dozens of other small towns just like them in the state that don't vote at midnight.

This is a pretty nice preview of New Hampshire. It doesn't officially mean anything, but the attitude towards NH ought to be one of more caution from what these numbers show.

You really think pinning your hope on this makes you look good.  Losing two out of three towns, with a republican one saving you face.  Alright.

Looking at demographic data of Hart's Location

where Trump got a positive swing from 2012

2012
Obama 23
Romney 9
Johnson 1

2016
Hillary 17
Trump 14
Johnson 3
Sanders 2
Kasich 1

We do have males 23 female 18 so the gender gap is in play for this Trump swing.    Average household income is $51K although it does not report medium income.  Trump seems to be doing well relative to 2012 for high income voters then.  50% of the town has college degrees of above. So so far the view that college educated whites will swing against Trump relative to 2012 does not seem to be true.  Trump seems to be gaining in college educated whites.  70% of the town is married.  We know the Trump might do relatively better for married voters and this does seem to bear out so far.

Why are you making assumptions based on 70 or so votes?
