Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
The headline made me think this was something shady, but it's actually pretty cool. A teeny-tiny little incorporated community out in the wilderness with a decades-long tradition of voting at midnight, so they can be the first in the nation to announce their results.
Agreed. It looks like they're having fun with it, so that makes me happy, even if I don't agree with who they voted for.
Lol what a name!
I mean, it's a Republican primary, were there any better options? There was certainly at least one worse one
My mistake. I thought this part meant they had an open primary. It looks like they just pick what ballot they want.
In my state, Independents don't get to vote at all in a primary. That's the only reason I have a party affiliation.
NH even lets you register to vote at the polling place. (Your ballot is provisional until you prove residency)
That seems like a positive thing.
What a mishmash of systems we have to vote in this country!
