This bodes poorly for President Trump.

The tiny town of Dixville Notch voted last night, with all six residents choosing Nikki Haley - as reported seconds after midnight. In itself, that's no big deal. It's just six people. What IS a big deal is that the voters include four Republicans and two Independents, even though the whole town voted for Joe Biden in 2020 and must, therefore, be left-leaning.

This suggests that Democrats are indeed changing their party affiliation just to vote against Donald Trump. If enough of them follow Dixville Notch's lead, then Nikki Haley will do better than expected. And why shouldn't they do that? Joe Biden, who they know will get the Democratic nomination, isn't even on the ballot.

Fortunately, most voters are less political than the "famous" people in Dixville notch have motivation to be. Most aren't in the limelight today and probably won't go to the trouble of changing their party affiliation the way Dixville notch's residents undoubtedly did. But some will. The question now isn't whether Nikki Haley's strategy will work but, rather, how well it will work.
