ANDOVER, MA — President Donald Trump's loss in Massachusetts on Tuesday was in line with his performance in 2016. With 70 percent of estimated votes reporting, his share of the vote has fallen from 33 percent to 31 percent. So how did Trump's support in Andover compare with his vote totals in 2016, when he was running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? According to unofficial results from the town clerk, Trump lost support in Andover in 2020. In 2016, he earned 6,522 votes in town, compared to 6,395 votes in 2020. He won 33.3 percent in 2016 and 31.5 percent in 2020, in line with the statewide trend. Tuesday's vote climaxed a heated battle for control of the White House, unfolding during a pandemic that killed nearly a quarter of a million Americans before Election Day. As of Wednesday afternoon, the election remained too close to call, with multiple key states still counting votes.
