Interactive map from 2016 election


Recommended Posts

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?

Be sure to keep in touch with yourself.

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".

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.

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?
