Hockomock League in Biden's corner.

 

The next President (Joe Biden) and Vice President (Kamala Harris).

I delved a little bit into the statistics surrounding our finally-decided national election, and was pleased to discover that the Hockomock League was solidly in the corner of the winning ticket.

The 14 communities that make up the league's 12 member high schools all voted for President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris, and here's the breakdown:

Kelley-Rex Division: Attleboro, 58.2 percent; Franklin, 61.7; King Philip Regional -- Wrentham, 54.8; Plainville, 54.9; Norfolk, 60.2; Mansfield, 62.4; Milford, 60.0; Taunton, 56.0.

Davenport Division: Canton, 63.8 percent; Foxboro, 59.5; Oliver Ames (Easton), 60.1; North Attleboro, 55.7; Sharon, 75.8; Stoughton 65.6.

I'm also proud to report that of the 20 communities of Bristol County, of which 14 voted for the Biden-Harris ticket, Mansfield had the highest percentage, ahead of New Bedford (61.0) and Easton.

Massachusetts, of course, had the second-highest Biden-Harris percentage in the nation (65.6 percent), trailing Vermont (66.7) and ahead of California (64.7), Hawaii (63.7) and Maryland (63.3). But the District of Columbia blew them all away, turning in a 93.3-percent voting ratio for the next President and Vice President.
