Visualizationifyizing the weak positive correlation between distance from the nearest major city and the support for Trump vs. Clinton in the general election. This continues my translating-counties-around-in-silly-ways series: distance from coast vs. primary result, distance from coast vs. general result, and this nonsense.
The result is uninteresting; I just wanted to try the chained transition illustrating the “methodology”, such as it is. All data graphics should be data+code graphics! Since there’s ultimately no difference between data and code. :) You could even visualize provenance etc. Object constancy baby. Every graphic a geometric proof of itself. Etc etc etc.
You can view up to the 1,000 largest cities (actually 998 because I exclude Alaska and Hawaii…) by appending a ?n=50 query string to the raw version (default is 50). E.g.: 2 cities; 998 cities.
TODO: Also figure out how these cities voted, or just align them with their counties. Hm. Obvious oversight, sorry.
