showing changes in the Democratic margin of victory between 2016 and 2020 in most US countries. Interesting.
Note that the map doesn't show Alaska or Hawaii. Also, keep in mind that the data is preliminary and some states are still nowhere near done counting. I'd expect results to change a lot in NY, CA, and MA from this map and a final version with full updated data. Again, this is a preliminary, draft version of the map. I plan on doing a lot more on it and with the data when we have finalized results.
In this map, the redder an area, the more the margin moves to Republicans and vice versa in the blue. This isn't who won the county, but who improved their margins there vs. 2016.

(3,282 posts)shifted 4.2 points to Biden. Went from ~14.5 to a little over 10 point win for Trump.

(3,282 posts)Lots of votes out there. I expect Democrats to improve on margins there when those are counted.

(5,477 posts)is all in, yup.
That was a big shift to Trump since 2016, ~14 points. And that's after Obama won there by 17.....
WTH is happening up there?

Sucks that google removed fusion maps....
We noticed this red shift in the Rio Grande Valley and El Paso. Not good. (300,000 more people voted for Trump in that region than in 2016)
QGIS.
I'm a GIS analyst/consultant/professor so I wanted to do something up to see where those shifts were.
