LYNNFIELD—Businessman Donald Trump and Secretary Hillary Clinton took the overall prize in the Commonwealth, but how did they do on a more local level?

According to data aggregated by the New York Times, Trump won every county in Massachusetts with at least 40 percent of the Republican vote. However, Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders seemed to split the counties down the middle, with Clinton winning the more populous regions of the state.
