Who Did Kendall County Voters Pick for President?

Voters in Kendall County strayed from Hillary Clinton as their choice for president on Tuesday, who won the state but ultimately lost the presidency.

With unofficial results in, nearly 47 percent of the county’s voters, which amounted to 24,152 people, selected President-Elect Donald Trump when they headed to the polls on Tuesday, while over 45 percent -- or 23,392 people-- voted for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. It was a tight race for sure. Out of the rest of the voters, 4.95 percent picked libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and 1.40 percent selected Green party candidate Jill Stein, according to unofficial results posted on the Kendall County Clerk’s Office website. 1.45 percent picked a write-in candidate.

Kendall County strayed from the majority of suburban collar counties who picked Clinton, who grew up in Park Ridge, for president.

An overwhelming number of voters across the state of Illinois picked Clinton on Tuesday -- with 55 percent of total voters in Illinois selecting Clinton over the 39 percent who picked Trump. The win in Illinois gave her 20 electoral votes, but not enough as Trump would go on to win the electoral vote across the nation. He was declared president-elect early Wednesday.
