A student at Washington State University (WSU) put together a map by district that depicts "out-performance". The blue areas are where Hilary out performed Obama compared to the 2012 election. Red areas are where Trump out performed Romney compared to 2012. The percentage of out performance is indicated by the darkness of the color. The big thing that jumps right out for me is the rust belt area. ![[Linked Image]](http://rynerohla.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/2012-16-Presidential-Swing-by-Precinct.png)

In other words, it's a map showing where the enemy lives.

I'd say it's a map of depressed manufacturing areas, hoping for changes that will increase employment and thriving business from years past....but those days are over, the cities are so depressed and racked with violence no new companies are coming.

That looks like an accurate observation, and the desperation of our posters back it up.

Why would big business put in a facility in high tax, high crime, low skill areas?
I wouldn't.
There are too many good places that welcome the industry.

Hillary can be happy she didn't have to run against a Mormon in Utah. Beyond that, not so much.

What is with the area that I assume is the Great Basin? Map scale makes it hard to tell exactly. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Map scale makes it hard to tell exactly. miles Miles, If you're looking at what I commented on, I think that's basically Utah and southern Idaho, showing Mormons liked Trump a lot less than they liked Romney. Go figure. A group of Mormons ran Evan McMullin. It was mainly to split the R vote in hopes that Hillary might win since he had no chance. He did pull a lot of Mormon votes but not enough to give it to Hillary. It skewed the results, though, which is why the map colors aren't really accurate. Most Mormons vote red so this never made much sense to me.

Progress. Yeah, that surprised me. But then I thought about it and it could be more Hilary under performance than Trump over performance there. If you have a region on this map with a bunch of Bernie idiots that hated Hilary for stealing their socialist dream, you would see a lack of blue as well.
