Marlborough High School hosted its first guest graduation speaker in years Sunday when former U.S. Senator Scott Brown spoke to the class.

Hybrids and Voters in Marlborough

Marlborough voted for Scott Brown and owns more hybrid cars than the state average.

You can see the results in the map above: Large circles suggest towns with more hybrid ownership per capita, and the red/blue color suggests which way those towns voted last year. In Marlborough, 17.4 of every 1,000 vehicles is a hybrid, compared to the state average of 18. Patch’s research suggests the state has a good number of what might be called “green Republican” communities.
