Dad: Cruz in the primaries, Johnson in the general election. This was the first time he didn't vote Republican for President
Mom: Doesn't vote, likes Bernie, dislikes Hillary, despises Trump.

Maternal Grandfather: Trump, in both the primaries and general election.
Maternal Grandmother: Same, though much less vocal about it.
Maternal Grandfather's Sister: Supported Bernie in the primaries and Hillary in the general election.
Maternal Uncle: Also a vocal Trump supporter.

Paternal Grandparents: I'm not close enough to them to know how they voted
Paternal Uncle: Trump in the general election, didn't vote in the primaries. He was actually a registered Democrat until this election, when he switched to independent, which is weird considering his political views seem to a mixture of libertarianism and nationalism. Actually, his political views kind of remind me of Chairman Sanchez.

Dad: Trump
Mom: Trump, though not particularly enthusiastically.
Brothers: One is autistic and recently my parents had to sign the necessary papers that declared him permanently incapacitated in September. The other is struggling with heroin addiction and has been living in a labor intensive half-way house in the mountains of North Carolina right now. So none.

Maternal Grandmother: Enthusiastically for Trump, supported him from day one.
Cool Aunt: Trump, though she's much like my mother in the sense that she doesn't care for him a whole lot.
Cool Uncle: Trump, enthusiastically. We spoke on election night at 3:30 AM as he was getting on the road for his daily run up to Jacksonville. He sounded more optimistic about the country than I've ever heard him.

Bitch Aunt: Clinton (a Hamilton loving white liberal who will probably spend more time screaming at me in the garage when she inevitably walks in on my smoking break than she will about politics. She also talked about Hamilton two months ago for 45 solid minutes, which is worse).
Other Cool Uncle: Clinton (see above)
Cousin: Clinton (probably voted Bernie in the primary)

All of my Grandmother's in-laws and siblings spare for two voted for Trump. One is an unrepentant white supremacist who thinks Armageddon is coming, thinks his dead best friend from 30 years ago was a prophet, and has a massive library of Christian Identity themed religious tracts. He didn't vote and hasn't voted in decades. The other is a moderate Republican who is a retired, wealthy dentist. He backed McMullin but when it came time to cast his vote in Virginia he apparently broke for Clinton at the last second.

A few of my asshole second cousins voted for Bernie in the primaries and one of them had a temper tantrum on election night (possibly election related) that resulted in him breaking his hand when he punched the floor.

Dad: Clinton in primaries and general.
Mom: Sanders in primaries, Clinton in general.
Literally the rest of the family: Clinton (except for my one cousin that voted for Stein)

Parents - Clinton
(2) Grandparents - Clinton
(7) Aunts and uncles - Don't know, probably a mix
(17) Cousins - At least one vocal Clinton supporter, at least one vocal Trump supporter (they're actually sisters). Others I don't know.

If my family could vote

Me: not old enough, would have voted Clinton
Brother: Not old enough, would have voted Trump
Mom: Clinton
Dad: Trump

After that, the votes would have split between family sides, mom's side almost unanimously would have gone for Clinton, while dad's side would have gone Trump.

I know of at least one or two exceptions, on my dad's side, one of my aunts, and her girlfriend would have easily voted Clinton.
