Election Results 2016: Who Did Phoenixville Vote For?

The nation and Pennsylvania selected Donald Trump to become the 45th President of the United States on Tuesday night. The state also selected Pat Toomey to defeat Democratic challenger Kate McGinty.

But how did the vote go in Phoenixville and Chester County?

Phoenixville leaned decidedly Democrat, as Clinton and McGinty won every single one of the borough's precincts. The only precinct that was close was North 1's Senate race, where McGinty won by just three votes. All other results had large Democratic margins.

Here are Tuesday night's results by precinct across the Steel City:

Precinct 461 (North 1): Clinton 386, Trump 276; McGinty 340, Toomey 337

Precinct 462 (North 2): Clinton 355, Trump 166; McGinty 360, Toomey 173

Precinct 463 (North 3): Clinton 653, Trump 323; McGinty 589, Toomey 385

Precinct 467 (Middle 1): Clinton 464, Trump 160; McGinty 439, Toomey 203

Precinct 468 (Middle 2): Clinton 501, Trump 148; McGinty 491, Toomey 166

Precinct 469 (Middle 3): Clinton 430, Trump 184; McGinty 404, Toomey 219

Precinct 472 (East 1): Clinton 403, Trump 222; McGinty 375, Toomey 256

Precinct 479 (West 3): Clinton 370, Trump 214; McGinty 336, Toomey 258

Chester County as a whole also represented a decisive victory for Hillary Clinton, who won 140,188 votes to Trump's 115,582. Gary Johnson won 7,818 votes, good for a 2.89 percent chunk.

Given how close the race was statewide, the 15,000-odd votes that were cast for third party candidates in Chester County took on a renewed importance.

County-wide, Pat Toomey's margin of victory over Katie McGinty was slightly larger than it was statewide. Toomey won 133,277, while McGinty won 126,588.

Voter turnout was up significantly in numbers in 2016 within the county. 272,580 voters, or 76.90 percent, hit the polls this year, compared to 253,009, 74.8 percent, during the 2012 presidential election.

Republican Ryan Costello defeated Democrat Mike Parrish to hold on to his seat in U.S. Congress.

Democrat Andy Dinniman defeated Republican Jack London to defend his seat in the state legislature.
