If you have time to kill this weekend, here is an interactive map to see the results by precinct across the US:

You can zoom in down to street level to see how you and your neighbors voted.

 

It's fun to zoom close to the cities to see dark blue and dark red right across the street from each other.

Trump won my precinct by 24 votes.  None of which were mine, I felt the Johnson

So, you were behind the Johnson? Wasn't that hard? I mean knowing that your vote was meaningless?

You can do better on the puns.  Definitely not your best work

 

And whether I voted for Johnson, Trump, or Clinton would have made no impact on who won Virginia

That's...a pretty scary map.  At that granularity, the difference between urban and rural is sharply defined.  The largest city I can find that Trump carried was Bismarck, North Dakota.  

 

That's an extreme level of tribalism shown there.

Fascinating map. I was shocked to see my precinct went for Trump. 

My area was PLASTERED with Obama signs in 2008 - I swear 4/5 houses had them. In 2012, nada. In 2016, there were a few Trump signs, absolutely no Hillary signs (the nearest one was several miles away).  I guess I shouldn't be too shocked. I live in an area of highly educated people, and apparently, they can be taught.... and become the "silent majority".

No surprise here - my district went 81% Hillary, which would explain why everyone around here seems so pissed off all the time.

Only 87% Hillary in my 'hood.  We're like the Nazis of the Bay Area.   :lol:

 

 

It's fascinating to see places that skew 80%+ one way right next door to one that goes 80+% the other way.

I wish they had a similar map of 2012 including turnout differences.  Mine went for Trump 52 to 43%.  I'm willing to guess the previous two presidential elections went to Obama.

Amazing detail , was surprised how red the US was considering how the popular vote went.

 

I was surprised at how stark it was.  The Democrats have become an urban party while the Republicans have become a rural one.  I'd love to see a population density map overlaid on that - the correlation between Clinton popularity and population density is probably greater than 0.8, which would be amazingly high.

If you exclude all the really bad ones, then none of them.

The county question has led to sincere but amusing spin

God Bless the Electoral College. Now if we could only have an electoral vote system on the state level for gubernatorial elections...

100% of the deplorable counties went for Trump. The diverse counties went for the hag.

As in the Sea Hag who was Popeye’s enemy?

 

 

How can we be so wrong compared to the well trumpeted opinion of people who know they are the most brilliant ever?
