STORMING THE
How did Brooklyn vote in the presidential election?
BY KEVIN DUGGAN
Almost three-quarters of
in-person voters in Brooklyn
cast their ballots for Democratic
presidential candidate
Joe Biden with 514,133 votes,
according to preliminary fi gures
by the state’s Board of
Elections.
Republican incumbent and
Queens native Donald Trump
garnered just north of 25 percent
of Kings County ballots,
with 174,731 in-person votes.
The results refl ect the votes
cast on Election Day and the
nine-day early voting period
beforehand, when Brooklynites
turned out in higher numbers
than any other borough.
Compared to the last
presidential election in 2016,
Democrats fared worse and
Republicans made gains in
Brooklyn’s in-person vote
this year. Four years ago,
Trump garnered only 18 percent
— compared to more
than 25 percent this year —
and then-candidate Hillary
Clinton claimed 80 percent,
compared to Biden’s 74 percent,
according to BOE.
The Assembly districts
with the highest percentage
of Biden votes so far are East
New York/Brownsville/Canarsie,
where 95.2 percent of
voters cast their ballots for
Biden, and Clinton Hill/Bedford
Stuyvesant/Prospect
Heights, where he has won
94.5 percent of the vote.
Trump, however, won four
Assembly districts in southern
Brooklyn that cover Coney
Island, Brighton Beach,
Bay Ridge, Gravesend, Midwood,
Borough Park, and a
part of Sheepshead Bay, a
similar trend to four years
ago. These four districts are
