John Kasich has now won his first county in more than a month—Manhattan. That brings Kasich’s nationwide tally for number of counties won, outside of his home state of Ohio, to 7. So for every state won by Donald Trump (20, not counting New York) or Ted Cruz (10, not counting Texas), Kasich has won a fraction of a county.
Out of the roughly 2,000 counties outside of Ohio that have been contested to date, Kasich has won 4 counties in Vermont (receiving a total of 8,736 votes in the process), 2 in Michigan (Kalamazoo and Washtenaw, home of Ann Arbor), and now 1 in New York. He hasn’t won a county in any of the other 29 states that have voted so far.
In addition to winning in Manhattan, however, Kasich came tantalizingly close to winning in Washington, D.C., losing to Marco Rubio by just 50 votes. In other words, Kasich almost swept the Acela primary.
