Manhattan voted for President Joe Biden over Trump by 87% to 12%

However, in the 2020 general election, the voter turnout in Manhattan was approximately 61.9%. Statistically that means approximately .5 jurors are Trump voters. Rounded, that's one. It only takes one MAGA cultist to have disillusioned reasonable doubt and hang this jury.

I did a data project for school charting NYC donations to Obama and Romney. Obama barely out-raised Romney, and he had to really count on hundreds of donors. While Romney had far less donors, but they gave almost as much money.

Don't have any sense about Bronx and Brooklyn - probably not pro-trump.
