CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Democrats dominated nearly all the top races Tuesday in New Hampshire, where voters reelected a U.S. senator and both House members and backed Joe Biden for president. The only bright spot for Republicans was in the governor’s race, where Gov. Chris Sununu defeated Democrat Dan Feltes to win a third term. Also winning a third term was Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who defeated Republican Corky Messner. In the House, 1st District Rep. Chris Pappas defeated Republican Matt Mowers to win a second term, and Rep. Annie Kuster defeated Republican Steve Negron to win a fifth term in the 2nd District.

A faithful family dog in China went on a tireless quest to try find her home after the owners left her with a friend to be temporarily looked after.

The limping dog was spotted outside an office building by a group of workers who rescued it and tracked down her owners. Within the day, their social media post was seen by the family, who recognized Ping An in the pictures and rushed to pick her up.

DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) — Two tiny New Hampshire communities that vote for president just after the stroke of midnight on Election Day have cast their ballots, with one of them marking 60 years since the tradition began. The results in Dixville Notch, near the Canadian border, were a sweep for former Vice President Joe Biden who won the town’s five votes. In Millsfield, 12 miles to the south, President Donald Trump won 16 votes to Biden’s five. Normally, in Dixville, town moderator Tom Tillotson says there would be a big food spread and media crammed into a small space to watch the voting. But that’s not possible because of the coronavirus pandemic. A third town, Hart’s Location, suspended midnight voting this time because of coronavirus concerns.
