Been working on a map of election results

[BGBD]

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.

1. Beaufort County South Carolina more blue than I thought

[BGBD]

4. Beaufort...

shifted 4.2 points to Biden. Went from ~14.5 to a little over 10 point win for Trump.

[liberal N proud]

6. I knew it voted trump

Just happy to see it moving blue

2. Interesting that N. Georgia, Upstate SC and Western NC are turning bluer compared to upstate NY

speaking as someone who gladly left a rural dark red county of upstate NY for the blue city of Asheville NC.

5. Be careful with NY

Lots of votes out there. I expect Democrats to improve on margins there when those are counted.

7. My home county in NY went 63% for Trump with 100% in while BuncombeCo NC went 60% Biden

[BGBD]

8. Your county

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?

3. I like all those shades of blue

Thanks! That looks like a ton of work!

I live in that blue blob in northern New Mexico.

9. thank you for the map

[LeftInTX]

10. How did you do this??? Wow!!

Was it ArcGIS?

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)

[BGBD]

11. It's

QGIS.

I'm a GIS analyst/consultant/professor so I wanted to do something up to see where those shifts were.

[LeftInTX]

12. Cool!!

[Ellipsis]

15. Very Cool.

[panader0]

13. Very nice job! That's a lot of work. My county (Cochise,Az.) increased the blue by 5% or greater.

It still went to trump. Thanks for the great map.

[Roland99]

14. So, swaths of UT, TX, AR and NY went much more for trump this time?

[BGBD]

18. Yes

Although some of that may shift back toward democrats in places where mail in ballots are still being counted.

[Roland99]

19. Aren't that many mail in ballots left, though

Wonder if that means there’s a more widespread number of white supremacists?

[crickets]

16. Great job! Thanks for this, BGBD. nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. Thank you very much! bookmarked

Even red-assed Kentucky is growing some more bluegrass back.

20. Looks like stained glass

and just as fragile ..
