As most of us are trying to grasp the idea that Donald Trump is going to be our future president, one might wonder how the votes were calculated, particularly in the metropolis of New York City. In 2012, Barack Obama had 81 percent of New Yorkers’ votes. This year however, the numbers have gone down by two percent when Democrat Hillary Clinton received 79 percent of New Yorkers’ vote.
The breakdown of how each borough voted:
1. Brooklyn
