LEXINGTON, MA — President Trump's loss in Massachusetts on Tuesday was expected in the perennially deep blue state, but how did he fare among Lexington residents this time around? Support for Trump increased in 2020 compared to 2016. Results from the 2016 election show Trump received 3,279 votes, compared to 3,325 this year. Hillary Clinton received 13,900 votes in Lexington in 2016, while Joe Biden earned 16,273. Voter turnout was better this year, as 87 percent of registered voters cast ballots, versus 84 percent in 2016. 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.
