That county-by-county map from Open Left is fascinating - Hillary has an unbroken line of strength from the NY Adirondacks all the way to Texas Hill Country. She’s also strong south of the 31st parallel, for what that’s worth. ha
Almost makes me wish there would have been a protracted GOP primary, too, so we could see the distribution of different GOP groups.
From the county map, it appears Clinton will win both West Virginia and Kentucky, Obama in Oregon, Montana, and South Dakota.
When will the map be updated?
