20% of Santa Clara County voted for Trump. 20% of funds raised in Santa Clara County went to Trump. That's a small fraction by two-party system standards, but it's not no one.
- DrScump 10y ago20% of funds raised in Santa Clara County went to Trump Can you provide your source for this? (Not being snarky -- I have trouble finding that level of detail in terms of residence vs. company HQ)
- kevbin 10y agoFrom memory. I'm wrong. 20% went to Republicans, not Trump: https://www.opensecrets.org/states/geog.php?cycle=2016&state=CA https://www.opensecrets.org/states/geog.php?cycle=2016&state... Vote % is from the registrar of voters: http://results.enr.clarityelections.com/CA/Santa_Clara/64404/184379/Web01/en/summary.html http://results.enr.clarityelections.com/CA/Santa_Clara/64404...

- DrScump 10y ago20% went to Republicans I think that source has issues. The percentages total up to 135% for Santa Clara County. I'm 112% sure that has an error.
- uiri 10y agoFor Santa Clara county Total donations: $59,683,708 Democrat donations: $28,362,650 (47% of Total) Republican donations: $7,613,361 (13% of Total) It is weird that the percentage column reports 75% and 20% instead of 47% and 13% respectively but that exactly accounts for the extra 35%.
