New York may be a blue state, but recently certified results from the Suffolk County Board of Elections show the region continued to be a Republican stronghold in the 2020 general election.
But in an election year that saw massive voter turnout and shifts in party alignment, President Donald Trump’s margin of victory shrank dramatically.
The president narrowly won in Suffolk County with a total of 381,253 votes to 381,021 cast for President-Elect Joe Biden.
In the last presidential election in 2016, Mr. Trump won the county by more than 50,000 votes.
Election results broken down by town and election district give a clearer picture of where support for each candidate comes from.
