Kasich, Sanders win vote in New Hampshire’s Dixville Notch

In Dixville Notch, Bernie Sanders won four votes to none for Hillary Clinton, while John Kasich beat Donald Trump, three votes to two.

The nine residents of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire cast their ballots in a wooden box during a midnight primary at the historic The Balsams Grand Resort Hotel Monday night, giving a landslide victory for Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton with a 4-0 vote.

Kasich, who has prided himself on avoiding attacks on his rivals, said he hoped New Hampshire voters are “fed up with the negative”.

A former U.S House Budget Committee chairman, Kasich is campaigning as a pragmatic centrist in a crowded field of nine conservative Republicans.

When asked whether that trend would continue throughout the rest of the state, however, Kasich said he didn’t want to get ahead of himself.

The US senator from Florida is looking to build on the momentum he had coming out of Iowa, but Ohio Governor John Kasich and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie have strong organisations in the state and are expected to do better than they did in Iowa, where neither made much of a showing.

John Kasich plans to devote two days campaigning next week in MI instead of SC, site of the next Republican presidential primary.

Denise, meanwhile, she believes the OH governor also seems passionate about issues. She said she found Bush “a reasonable and thoughtful” person despite not wanting to see another member of his family as president. They can vote in either primary, making them a key group on Tuesday.

“We’re a pretty small town in an out of the way place in mountains, and live fairly quiet lives most of the time”, Mark Dindorf, a selectman from Hart’s Location, said in a telephone interview with The Washington Post shortly after midnight. I said, you know what? “The fewer undeclareds are voting, that would help Clinton”, he said.

Miranda Yeaton, of Concord, also posed for a picture with the OH governor, saying she voted for him because she believes “he’ll be great for America”. “All of his staff have been so wonderful and I think that speaks a lot about who the person is that they’re supporting”.

“Even though I don’t agree with every one of his policies, he has his convictions, and I admire that, I respect that, and I think that’s what swayed it for me is he has principle”, Smith said.

McKay said she and other Mercer students traveled to New Hampshire as part of a class field trip.
