Voter turnout was indeed larger

Voter turnout was higher than normal this year in the Northwest Corner. 
Several factors could have contributed to that, including a sense of anxiety about the current political situation as well as the fact that absentee ballots were allowed for more voters. There has also been a recent influx of new property owners to area towns, especially Salisbury and Sharon, with many of the new homeowners choosing to live (and voter) here full-time rather than part-time.
We offer here a comparison of vote totals from the 2016 presidential election and the 2020 vote.
