SOMERVILLE, MA – The 2016 election is in the books, and America woke up Wednesday with a new president-elect – Donald Trump.

Former Secretary of State and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly took Massachusetts, and Somerville mirrored that result by an unofficial count of 32,903 to 4,064.
