Been trying to track down some details from Brainwrap’s post earlier this afternoon. I called the Philadelphia City Commissioners Office, and this is what I found out:
The original “unofficial” results (just after election day) were
Clinton: 563,275, Trump: 105,876. The updated totals (final count):
Clinton: 584,020, Trump: 108,748.
That means Hillary netted 17,873 votes from Philly, after provisional (HC: 7,673, DT: 866) and absentee (HC:13,072, DT: 2,006) ballots were included. There’s a spreadsheet at the Philly Commissioners web site that includes these breakdowns, but I called to make sure they were the most up-to-date results.
Overall, Trump’s lead in PA has shrunk to 46,435 votes, down from around 68,000, so these figures from Philadelphia make up the bulk of the ~21,500 drop.
What will the recount dig up? We’ll know very soon.
