voted in yesterday's Presidential Election as follows:

• Clinton 2,229
• Trump 331
• Stein 70
• Johnson 34
• Write in 28

These numbers do not include the votes from the Election District 87 (the Octagon Building) which for some reason have not been reported in this tally.

The vote tally for Roosevelt Island Election Districts (82 E.D. - 87) from the NYC Board of Elections is here. 

The NY Times reports that Donald Trump received 279 Electoral Votes (270 needed for victory) to Hillary Clinton's 228. Ms. Clinton received more total votes 59,733,960 (47.7%) to Donald Trump's 59,520,324 (47.5%). Arizona's vote is not final yet and is not counted in this tally.

Have you come to terms yet with the results of yesterday's Presidential election? Does the phrase President-Elect Donald Trump fill you with gloom about the future of America, make you happy or just resigned to the next 4 years of President Trump?
