The Atlas of the 2016 Elections is an indispensable guide to one of the most consequential elections of modern times. The mix of evocative maps and prose tells a story that goes far beyond simple voting patterns. The Atlas offers telling insights into matters ranging from political contributions to campaign strategies to the roles that gender, religion, and ethnicity played in the outcome. -- Alexander B. Murphy, University of Oregon
The careful cartography and clearly written essays in this comprehensive volume explain how geographic patterns of behavior are continuous with established tradition but also reflective of shorter-term developments. The Atlas vividly illustrates responses that are at once sensitive to changes in social and economic composition while also a reflection of enduring habits, not fully captured by notions of interest. One thing is certain: no one can look at the results from November 8, 2016, and declare that space and distance no longer matter in elections. -- James Gimpel, University of Maryland
The definitive resource for anyone interested in the whys behind the 2016 election upset. Brilliant maps throughout explain not only traditional patterns such as demographics and campaign dollars, but also more unexpected factors such as the states or countries mentioned in debates, social media use, and the influence of newspaper endorsements. This superb atlas will stand as the go-to reference for understanding voters and elections at all levels—from presidential to state and local. -- Tom Daschle, former US Senate Majority Leader
