    While Rittenhouse’s hometown of Antioch is more conservative — Trump won the town in 2016 with about 50% of the vote — the demographics of Lakes Community High School are a little different given its proximity to Chicago.

    As opposed to... 50% of the vote?

      I'm assuming that Clinton got like 45% and third parties got 5% or something?

        Then they should probably state that. Because looking at it without that, it's like "ok, so the other half is democrats? I mean, that isn't the majority there, VICE."

      No, see, he WON with 50%. Whereas the other candidates lost with the other half of the 50%. Also the truth is in the middle, so really 75% of his community supports Trump.
