READING, MA — The dust is still settling on a historic election, and the question of who will be president in 2021 is still unclear. But one thing is clear: Reading showed up in support of Democratic candidates, favoring Joe Biden over President Donald Trump and voting to re-elect Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Seth Moulton. Reading voted in favor of the right to repair ballot question, which won handily in Massachusetts. The town also aligned with the rest of the state on Question 2, opposing ranked-choice voting by a slim margin. The measure failed to pass with 54 percent of voters against and 43 percent in favor. Turnout was 80 percent in Reading, with 16,574 of 20,548 registered voters casting ballots.
