Nashville/Davidson Co. TN Precinct results maps

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Here are maps of the Presidential results in Nashville - first one is who won each precinct, second one is swing from 2012, third is % for 3rd party candidates + people who only voted downballot.

Yuuge swings (one precinct with nearly 50%) from R to D in affluent areas like Belle Meade and West Meade, smaller swings the same direction across the southern part of the county.  These areas also had extremely high numbers of Write-ins, votes for Gary Johnson, and people who left the Presidential slot blank.  The afore mentioned West Meade precinct had 8.5% for write-in and nearly 15% who voted but didn't cast ballots for Trump+Clinton.

There were larger swings towards Trump in more rural precincts up north, and very small but consistent swings towards him in AA precincts.



Colors are a bit off because I originally made them in non-atlas colors and attempted an automatic conversion to atlas colors.

So black people swung to Trump and rich whites swung to Hillary. Definitely a correlation between income and the vote. Trump seems to have gained in some parts of southeast Nashville and Antioch, which considering the changing demographics of this area, one wouldn't expect. Turns out there were more whites voting Democrat in these places than one would think. In any case the white vote has definitely realigned in this election.

Eh, I wouldn't say that.

Wealthy whites still overwhelmingly voted for Trump, as did those with a college education though not so overwhelmingly.

That's not what "swinging to" means in Atlas parlance -- it's about change versus previous margin, win or loss

I was referring to the last sentence of the post about the white vote "realigning."

I should have made that clearer by editing out the rest of it.
