Deplorables: Election Baskets 1.2.1

This resource presents a comprehensive, color-coded map detailing the distribution of voter demographics during the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, utilizing county-level data derived from official state voting results.

The map facilitates an examination of local political polarization, highlighting concentrations of various voter groups, including those identified in derogatory terms during the campaign such as "deplorables" and "libertarians." This presentation allows for a nuanced understanding of the electorate's sentiments.

As noted by Hillary Clinton on September 9, 2016: “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic -- you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that.”
