Only Precinct No. 1 aligned with the nation in supporting president-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday. Most of Dartmouth voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton. Seventy-three percent of Dartmouth's 22,729 registered voters also reelected Representative Bill Keating, narrowly supported legalized recreational marijuana, and celebrated the ceasefire in political advertising.

While Trump took the national electoral vote over Hillary Clinton 276-218, in Dartmouth voters had different ideas on who should come out on top.

Clinton and Tim Kaine earned 52 percent (8,511 votes) of Dartmouth’s vote, while Republicans Donald Trump and Mike Pence took 41 percent (6,705 votes). Only Precinct No. 1 aligned with the national vote. Those north Dartmouth voters gave Trump 51 percent of their votes (1,080 votes), while Clinton claimed 42 percent (896 votes).

Green-Rainbow party candidates Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka took 1.4 percent (231 votes) of Dartmouth's vote; Libertarians Gary Johnson and Bill Weld won 3.7 percent (606 votes).

The only other contested race in the lineup was for the U.S. Representative of the Ninth Congressional District of Massachusetts. Democratic incumbent William Keating took the win in the state and in Dartmouth, earning 57 percent of votes (8,664 votes); Republican opponent Mark Alliegro followed with nearly 32 percent of votes (4,839 votes). Unenrolled candidates Christopher Cataldo and Anna Grace Raduc both took about 1.2 percent of votes (178 and 187 respectively), while Independent candidate Paul Harrington earned 8.6 percent of votes (1,300).

Republican incumbent Thomas Hodgson was in an uncontested race for Bristol County Sheriff, and he took 11,977 of 12,254 votes.

Here's how Dartmouth voted in other uncontested races: Councillor, First District, Joseph Ferreira took 11,631 of 11,768 votes; State Senator incumbent Mark Montigny took 12,528 of 12,675 votes; State Representative incumbent Christopher Markey earned 12,410 of 12,547 votes; Bristol County Commissioners Paul Kitchen and John Mitchell took 8,818 and 8,545 votes respectively of a total 17,494 votes; and District Attorney incumbent Thomas Quinn, III received 12,431 of 12,533 votes.

Ballot questions:

Voters also weighed in on four ballot questions on Election Day. Generally, Dartmouth residents voted similarly to the rest of the state, approving Questions No. 3 and No. 4 and rejecting Questions No. 1 and No. 2.

Question No. 1 would have opened a new slots parlor in Massachusetts. The question was defeated statewide. In Dartmouth, only 44 percent of voters (6,741) voted favorably; nearly 56 percent (8,540) voted no. Precinct No. 6 had the only tally that swayed from this, with 54 percent of those voters casting yes votes, and nearly 46 percent voting no.

The second question would have allowed the state to increase its charter school limit by 12 each year. Nearly 62 percent of voters in Dartmouth (6,134) voted no to Question No. 2, while only 38 percent of residents (9,886) voted yes.

Dartmouth was in line with the state on Question No. 3, which prohibits restrictive enclosures for pigs, calves, and hens. Seventy-seven percent of voters in Dartmouth (12,269) checked yes. Nearly 23 percent (3,630) voted no.

Question No. 4 legalizes recreational marijuana for people 21 and over. In Dartmouth, nearly 52 percent of voters (8,367) checked yes on the question; 48 percent (7,732) voted no. Both Precinct No. 7 and No. 8 varied from this — voting against legalizing recreational marijuana — but several precincts split within 100 votes difference. Precinct No. 2 voted 696-631 for the legislation; Precinct No. 6 voted 887-780; and Precinct No. 9 voted 1,268-1,216. Precinct No. 8 voted 1,126-1,225 against the proposal.

Around town:

About 21 percent of voters cast ballots at Town Hall during the early voting period, but on Election Day, voters signed in at one of nine designated polling locations. Some offered commentary before and after entering the polls, and an aura of fatigue and hopelessness surrounded many of them.

“I’m just here to vote for the questions. I don’t feel empowered as a voter to vote for presidential elections,” said April Costa. Costa said that the electoral college has more pull in elections than voters do. The last time Massachusetts voted for a Republican was in 1984, when Ronald Reagan was running for his second term.

Kevin St. Laurent said he’s tired of being bombarded with election coverage. “It’s been long. I’m glad it’s over after today,” he said. One woman, who declined to give her name, agreed.

“All I’ve heard for the past eight years is swears… Him swearing at the TV,” she said, pointing at her husband, Edward Casey. Casey, however, was a tad more excited and easily offered his voting preferences.

“I’m Trump all the way! You have to look at both sides. She represents nothing but corruption,” he started. “If John F. Kennedy was around today… He’s probably rolling around in his grave. He was a true democrat.”

At the Russells Mills fire district, where Precinct No. 9 voters gathered to cast their ballots, Fire Chief Tim Andre expressed another anxiety.

“I’m just concerned for the district. If someone gets hurt here, it’s a liability,” he said. Andre said he had arrived at 6 a.m. to move trucks out of the station, but throughout the day, residents assumed parking normally left for his personnel. In the event of an emergency, firefighters would also have to rush around polling booths to get to their gear, he added.

In Padanaram, Rev. Scott Ciosek worked to calm residents. He opened St. Peter’s Episcopal Church for a six-hour period on Election Day, along with hosting a noontime mass, to provide a place of peace.

“It was a beautiful opportunity to pray together and be hopeful,” said Ciosek. He said at least 30 people hung out in the church throughout the day.

Ciosek said he couldn’t advocate for any one candidate, but that wasn’t necessarily the point either.

“The most important thing for all of us to remember is it’s our mission, our responsibility as members of the human family, to continue to promote love, justice, and equality, and to work against all forms of oppression,” he said.

Inside the schools, students practiced their own elections. High school students weighed in on this year's ballot, while elementary kids at DeMello voted for a slogan for their spring carnival.
