MALDEN, MA — The dust is still settling on a historic election, and the question of who will be president in 2021 is still unclear. But one thing is clear: Malden overwhelmingly showed up in support of Democratic candidates, heavily favoring Joe Biden over President Donald Trump and voting to re-elect Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Katherine Clark.

Malden voted in favor of the right to repair ballot question, which won handily in Massachusetts. However, the town deviated from the rest of the state on Question 2, favoring ranked-choice voting, albeit by a slim margin. The measure failed to pass with 54 percent of voters against and 43 percent in favor.

Turnout was 71 percent in Malden, with 24,903 of 35,300 registered voters casting ballots.
