Framingham Presidential Election Results
Fresh off of Donald Trump win of the White House, I thought it would be interesting to see how Framingham performed against the actual winner of a major presidential election.
Framingham is clearly a blue town, at least that's what it has shown on every election result since 1972. The only year that the town went Republican was in 1984.
Here is a table highlighting how the town votes

| 2016 | 7,031 | 20,277 | Donald J. Trump / Mike Pence (R) |
| 2012 | 8,938 | 18,340 | Barack Obama/ Joe Biden (D) |
| 2008 | 8,430 | 17,839 | Barack Obama / Joe Biden (D) |
| 2004 | 8,448 | 17,239 | George W. Bush / Richard Cheney (R) |
| 2000 | 7,347 | 17,308 | George W. Bush / Richard Cheney (R) |
| 1996 | 6,669 | 16,836 | Bill Clinton / Al Gore (D) |
| 1992 | 8,114 | 15,165 | Bill Clinton / Al Gore (D) |
