In a hamlet where 66.67 percent of the registered voters are Republicans, the general election ended in a tie: three votes for Kamala Harris, and three for Donald J. Trump.
Tom Tillotson, 79, whose father created the tradition of early voting at the Balsams Grand Resort Hotel in 1960, said a few minutes before the voting started that this feels about normal.
The final tally—the first result of this election—was announced 12 minutes after midnight.
As late as 10:30 p.m. on Monday, Mr. Maxwell said he was undecided. His vote, for Mr. Trump, came as something of a surprise, even to him.
