Votes

Keep in mind, with 99% of the vote counted, despite the win in NY, 4 out of 5 registered Democratic voters did not vote for Clinton.

NY voters by Party registration:

Election results:

Math
Clinton votes: 1,037,344

Registered Democrats: 5,792,497

1037344/5792497= 17.9%

Therefore, 4 out of 5 registered Democratic voters did not vote for her.
