Clark County’s Elections office is still counting ballots, but the vast majority have been tallied, so far giving Democrat Hillary Clinton a slight edge over Republican President-elect Donald Trump, 45.5 percent to 44.7 percent as of Friday morning.
Maps below and on Page A2 in today’s edition of The Columbian show how the county’s precincts voted and how each of the state’s 39 counties voted (with data from the Washington State Secretary of State’s office) as of results reported Friday morning. Clark County and the state mirror the rest of the country with pockets of urban blues surrounded by suburban pinks and rural reds.
In the county, Vancouver, Camas, Ridgefield and Woodland were strong or leaning Democrat, while the rest of the county leaned or was staunchly Republican.
It’s easy to see how the state’s 49th Legislative District keeps electing Democrats while the 17th and 18th elect Republicans.
