Sakonnet voters took to the polls in greater than usual numbers last Tuesday, helping cement Democratic majorities on partisan races and voting back many of the public officials up for re-election. Still, if there were any partisan trends to be found they pointed to a slightly more conservative vote in Tiverton, despite Democratic wins. Here’s a breakdown, according to data provided by the state board of elections:

Presidential race

While Trump won the day nationally, just under 56 percent of Little Compton and Tiverton voters chose Democratic nominee Kamala Harris over Republican challenger Donald Trump, with totals between the two towns coming in 6,217 for Harris to 4,975 for Trump.

Of the two towns, Little Compton swung more liberal, with 59 percent of voters choosing Harris. In Tiverton, 51.5 percent of votes cast went to the Democrat.

Little Compton votes

Harris: 1,501 (59 percent)

Trump: 971 (38.2 percent)

Tiverton votes

Harris: 4,716 (51.5 percent)

US Senator, District 1

Voters in each town chose Sheldon Whitehouse, sending the incumbent Democrat back to Congress for another term while showing Republican challenger Patricia Morgan the door.

In Little Compton, voters cast 1,502 votes for Whitehouse and 1,000 for Morgan, a 60 to 40 percent margin. The result was closer in Tiverton, where 55 percent of voters (4,869) voted for Whitehouse, while 3,941 (44.7 percent) voted for Morgan.

Representative, 1st Congressional District

Democrat Gabriel Amo won re-election to his seat across Rhode Island and in the Sakonnet area as well, defeating Republican challenger Allen R. Waters in the polls.

In Little Compton, Amo carried 58.5 percent of the vote (1,441) to Waters’ 37 percent (911). In Tiverton, the margin was again more narrow, with voters choosing Amo by a 53.5 to 41.5 percent margin (4,597 to 3,567).
