The East Coast state voted 58.3% for Joe Biden. The electoral geography shows there a particularly clear opposition between the cities acquired to the Democrats and the rural areas acquired to the Republicans.
In the state containing the largest city in the country, the vote was over 58% for Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
By looking at the vote of the counties with the magnifying glass, one could have expected a “gradient of blue”, the color of the Democrats. But, surprisingly, as soon as we move away from the Big Apple, we see that most of the counties voted for Trump. If the south of the state is obviously marked by the metropolitan area of New York, the north is dominated by large agricultural regions.
The electoral geography shows there a particularly clear opposition between the cities acquired to the Democrats and the rural areas acquired to the Republicans.
Result: of the 62 counties of the state, only 13 voted Democrats, including 4 constituted by the city of New York and 4 others by the most important cities, Buffalo, Rochester, Albany and Syracuse
