Local voting detail: Strong showing for Trump, Tillis

Published On: November 4, 2020By

Nov. 4. By Dave Yochum. The presidential race may still be up in the air nationwide, but that’s not the case in Cornelius. All four precincts went decisively for President Trump, more than two to one at 242/Jetton and almost two to one at 208/Bethel Presbyterian Church. Likewise, US Sen. Thom Tillis, who started his career in elected office on the Cornelius Town Board, won hands down in all four Cornelius precincts.

The former Peninsula resident took 242/Jetton 1,565 votes to 528 for Cal Cunningham.

Mecklenburg County went the other way: Biden and Cunningham bested their opponents.

It was a different story in 206 in the Town of Davidson. That precinct, which votes at Davidson Elementary just north of the Antiquity Bridge, went 2,280 for Joe Biden, 1,425 for Trump.

Nearer to River Run, Precinct 127/Hopewell Baptist went 1,796 for Trump, 1,499 for Biden.

In the US Senate Race, Davidson/206 went for Cunningham 2,083 to 1,524 for Tillis. In 127, Tillis came out on top, 1,947 to 1,266 for Cunningham.

    It’s hard to believe that there are so many good, rich, religious, moral people voting for Trump and Tillis. God will be happy that his chosen son is so well accepted in Cornelius. Never mind that lies, amoral behavior, and name calling don’t count. We can explain all these things to our children when we hold up Trump as someone they should emulate and worship.

      Because Biden is so moral. You are an unbelievable hypocrite.

    63% of Cornelius voted for freedom and capitalism!

    Would love to see the Cooper/Forest numbers too please. These numbers tell a very strong Republican vote. That did not translate to the Governors race.

      Yes, we’ll get this done. Thanks for the input.
