RI's 2016 Precinct Map Thread

[Intell]

In regards to South Boston, 56.6% have less than high school degree, so it's still a working class seat by in large, why did it swing to Clinton so heavily?

Southie now, ain't the Southie that it was in the 70's.

I realise that, but through demographics it's still like that, no? It's highly gentrified I get that.

Sadly, it looks like the great unveiling has been bumped to tomorrow. Not my decision. Sorry.

[chronicleiris]

Ahhhhh! You forgot Hawaii. Hawaii is important

Way to keep us in suspense....

Looking forward to the final product, as with all of your awesome projects....

It's out of my hands. I'm hoping a certain third party will get back to me today; that's the last hurdle to get over. If it were up to me, I'd have posted the maps already.

So is it coming out today or tomorrow? I'm confused right now xD

Missing are:

Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, Vermont; Miles&others have made NC&SC, LA and AK.

They aren't "missing" as much as I haven't bothered posting them.

Ok, here's the deal: Right before I finished the national map(s), I made a deal with a website so that I'd let them host the maps initially in exchange for money and them paying to host interactive versions of the maps. It was meant to go live last week, but another (much larger) website who might also license the data from me expressed interest at the last minute . We've given them a deadline of today to get back to us before we press on and go live. If they don't respond, it goes live tomorrow. If they do respond, it might delay things another day or two. I should know by the end of today.

[chronicleiris]

kk thx!

[Tender Branson]

Don't stress yourself.

Stress kills.

[RI]

The full map goes live tomorrow morning, and I'm 99.99999999999% sure there won't be any more delays.

[chronicleiris]

I'm really hyped about it 'cause me and my buddies are planning to print it large-scale like a poster

[RI]

Here it is. Per my agreement with them, I'll wait to post the Atlas-colored maps until Saturday.

EDIT: Looks like we crashed the interactive. Sad.

[chronicleiris]

Wow. I congratulate you on this. This is amazing. Printing it out right now

[Classic Conservative]

I forwarded this to the History Department at my school.

[Bismarck]

This is great RI. Your write up was very nice as well. Congrats on a successfully completed project.

Got a couple of short #analysis pieces from this coming today, too. Here's the first: https://decisiondeskhq.com/data-dives/education-best-explains-the-presidential-swing-map/

[chronicleiris]

Amazing. Swing maps are greatly made and easy for studying.

[homelycooking]

It's so beautiful.

Wondering why Kansas' swing map is so speckled. Perhaps just Hispanic influx? Idk it doesn't look like Nebraska, even close to the state border...

Kansas has much smaller precincts than any of its surrounding states, which allows for more variation. Don't know why.

Edit: Also, Kansas had some Brownback blowback.

Nice, amazing work.

So, you are converting these maps into Atlas colours soon ?

This Blue for Democrats and Red for Republicans is hurting my eyes.

[Figueira]

Great work! Thanks for doing this!

Latino Decisions called my article "fake news." lol

Excellent work, as always.

It took a while, but Adam Griffin and I eventually did get the 2008 nationwide results by VTD/Block Group for most of the states based on the Dave's Redistricting App data up on an interactive Google Fusion Table.  I don't remember if this map was of the 2-party vote or overall vote - probably the former. The national map looks like crap, but you can see detail once you zoom in to an appropriate level.  That was the best we could do interactively, at least back in 2015 when the project was done.  This was before Carto.com, though - and I never tried putting a similar map up there.  I imagine Carto.com would charge an arm and a leg and/or crash under the server load were you to put a similar map with DDHQ-driven (instead of just Atlas or RRH-driven) traffic up there.
