--Public employees (schoolteachers, county clerks, postal workers, etc)

--Trial lawyers in Jackson and Biloxi/Gulfport

I honestly can't think of any other coherent "groups." The rest are just random white people who have their own idiosyncratic reasons for voting Democratic.

I wouldn't even include university students because I guarantee you Republicans win white college students in Mississippi by landslides. Ole Miss gets a lot of out-of-state students who are basically rich white kids from the Atlanta suburbs. Fraternities/sororities are very big there. If you're a liberal white high schooler, there's a good chance you're going to self-select out and go to school somewhere else.
David Baria is a good example of a trial lawyer from Gulfport. Which Republican Senate candidate are young white college students more likely to vote for, Cindy Hyde-Smith or Chris McDaniel?

Most younger Republicans tend to be less Trumpist and more Reaganite, so probably Hyde-Smith.  Most GOP primary polls tend to show traditional Republicans winning young voters.

Trump won the white vote in every county of Mississippi. In Louisiana, unlike Mississippi, Clinton won the white vote in New Orleans. Why are MS whites so Republican, even in Jackson?

Clinton won the white vote in very few counties in the South in general, including none in most of the states that border Mississippi.

What are some examples of counties where she won it?

2016 & 2012

Specifically, though:

1 ) Orleans, LA
2 ) Davidson, TN
3 ) Dekalb, GA
4 ) Clarke, GA
5 ) Buncombe, NC
6 ) Orange, NC
7 ) Durham, NC

8 ) Travis, TX
9 ) Alachua, FL
10 ) Broward, FL
11 ) Dade, FL
12 ) Albemarle, VA
13 ) Norfolk, VA
14 ) Williamsburg, VA
15 ) Richmond, VA
16 ) Fredricksburg, VA
17 ) Fairfax, VA
18 ) Loudoun, VA
19 ) Falls Church, VA
20 ) Arlington, VA
21 ) Alexandria, VA

The map shown in Atlas by regente (I think) had Trump winning Davidson, TN whites by 0.3 due to slight formula tweaks.  Either way, it was virtually even and Clinton won 7-8 counties' white votes in the South (excluding VA and FL).
