Excellent maps. It’s interesting looking at the results of Northampton, MA. A university town in the very ‘liberal’ Pioneer Valley. It voted for Warren and also gave Sanders a very good score. There seems to be a sharp dichotomy between the east, by the river, which voted for Sanders (this part is the town centre and contains the university), and the west (seemed more residential when I visited) which voted strongly for Warren.
The whole town is strongly Democratic; Stein came second in many precincts in 2016. In 2020 it stayed very D, with good swings to Biden for an >80% D town (Sanders/Stein supporters falling into line?); and the best swings in the western residential areas.
Any ideas for why the primary results were so? All I can think of is the university. It is an all-women place - but amongst young, educated women Warren seemed to do best. Worth noting that Warren won strongly in Cambridge, but nearby Amherst showed a similar split too.
