National Precinct Maps

Terrible... would love to see some for the primary as well unless they are already available.

They aren't as complete, but go here and here.

Fascinating how the green areas of the South either correlate with closed primary areas (ancestral White Southern Democrats voting against Hillary rather than majority Black areas?) or areas in open primary states where there is presumably either an urban liberal presence or a remaining traditional Democratic loyalty?

Very interesting but hard to see.  Do you know where I can find precincts and townships by looking them up by name?

I'm shocked to see Trump winning some precincts in South Texas. Considering that's mostly Mexican territory.

They might be mexican americans but theres a lot of people whose roots might be in Mexico but family history has been in the area for a long time and apparently dislike illegal immigration. One lesson of 2016 is to not assume that voting patterns are static.

It's very encouraging to see a Democrat realize this.  If the other members of your party acknowledged such things rather than assuming votes simply because of someone's race, the world would be much better place.

It's actually not necessarily that surprising, considering that historically many of the wealthy Tejano  ranchers and landowners are fully complicit in the exploitation of workers in the ranching and farms of South Texas from the beginning of the Republic.

There are likely better links/articles to discuss the complexity of the Tejano population in South Texas, and although I haven't run the data on the individual precincts that voted for Trump, it is not surprising to see Tejano landowners continuing to back a reactionary and feudalistic social structure, just the same as an Anglo family farm in the Central Valley of California running similar size acreage...

Cesar Chavez actively worked to unionize both, regardless of the historical ancestry of the oppressors.

This is really good stuff.

It seems that this article is down. Do you know of anywhere else where i can see the interactive map?

Here's a precinct swing map.

Biggest Trump swings correlated with union job loses; biggest Clinton swings were country clubs.

The shading on this map is perfect since it tells it all. Draw a U from the eastern Dakotas around IA, IL, IN, OH, and western PA and NY (with a notch down through parts of MO/KY), and you get hard Trump swings. Hillary gets cities, the Acela corridor, and non-Cuban Latino areas (I'm not counting Mormon areas for obvious reasons).

This does not bode well for Democrats, since the Latino effect is likely to be specifically against Trump, and almost all of the other Hillary trending areas are in already-blue states. Democrats better hope that the above U was specifically against Hillary.
