How Did Your Town Vote?

NJ Advance Media has put together town-by-town results of the 2016 presidential election. Click that link to view the interactive map, where you can hover over each town in the state and see the total votes.

I don't intend to turn this into a political fight, I just find it interesting how things look different as you dig deeper and deeper. What's fascinating is how red our state looks outside of that thin blue diagonal strip.

It's fun to look at how the population is spread across the state, too - Bass River Township is one of the darkest red on the map, with Trump getting 73.1%, but they only cast less than 700 votes. Compare that to Newark which went 90.7% to Clinton with 69,000 votes.
