Windsor Locks, East Windsor Presidential Election: Trump Vote Up

WINDSOR LOCKS/EAST WINDSOR, CT — President Donald Trump lost Connecticut in both the 2016 and 2020 general elections, and we're taking a look at how his vote total changed between the two elections.

Tuesday was another big night for Democrats across Connecticut as they increased their majority in the General Assembly and swept all five congressional races.

So how did Trump's support in East Windsor and Windsor Locks compare with his vote totals in 2016, when he was running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?

According to the Secretary of the State's Office, Trump earned 2,889 votes in East Windsor in 2020, compared to 2,606 in 2016. In 2020, Joe Biden received 3,891 votes in town, while Hillary Clinton collected 2,441 four years ago.

In Windsor Locks, Trump got 3,092 votes this year, similar to the 3,022 from 2016. Biden accumulated 3,655 votes from Windsor Locks, a sharp increase from the 2,789 Clinton procured.

Trump's vote totals were very consistent from 2016 to 2020, but Biden secured nearly 1,500 more votes than Clinton did in East Windsor, and nearly 900 more than the former first lady did in Windsor Locks.

For the entire state of Connecticut, Biden received 974,279 votes compared to Trump's 682,562 in 2020. In 2016, Clinton garnered 897,572 votes to 673,215 for Trump.

Tuesday's vote climaxed a heated battle for control of the White House, unfolding during a pandemic that killed nearly a quarter-million Americans before Election Day.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the presidential election was still too close to call, and votes were still being tallied in several battleground states.
