Donald Trump is leading Hillary Clinton in the earliest tally of Election Day votes, beating Clinton 32-25 in three New Hampshire towns, according to the Associated Press.

The towns of Dixville, Hart’s Location, and Millsfield offered an early glimpse at voting results — opening the polls after midnight Tuesday and closing them once their small populations voted.

Clinton won famous Dixville Notch midnight vote with four votes to Trump’s two. Libertarian Gary Johnson won one vote and 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney received a write-in vote to round out the eight votes cast.

In Hart’s Location, Clinton also beat out Trump 17 votes to the GOP candidate’s 14. Johnson received three votes, Bernie Sanders won two votes, and John Katich received one vote.

Trump achieved his overall lead in the town of Millsfield, where he won 16 votes. Clinton won four votes, and Sanders won one vote.

The Real Clear Politics polling average has the race in New Hampshire at a statistical dead heat with Clinton leading Trump by 0.6 percentage points.
