Local voters lead state in backing president
DAVENPORT – In Washington state, Lincoln County is "Trump Country."
During an initial count in the Nov. 3 general election tonight, voters overwhelmingly cast their ballots for incumbent President Donald J. Trump.
Lincoln County voters led the state with 72.29% support for President Trump and running mate Vice President Mike Pence. Only 25.69% of voters here supported Democrat challenger Joe Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris.
Only two Eastern Washington counties — Whitman and Walla Walla — were leaning toward Biden.
Statewide, Biden was leading with 60.76% to Trump’s 36.6%. The difference between the candidates topped 800,000 votes.
Nationwide, at press time, several states were still counting ballots and the election was too close to say who was leading.
