ABSTRACT
This chapter charts the geographical dimensions of Trump's 2016 electoral victory. It compares the 2012 and 2016 elections to probe the regions in which Trump enjoyed successes at multiple spatial scales, including states, congressional districts, counties, and precincts. The authors deploy regression analyses to explore the demographic and spatial dimensions of votes for Trump. They also note campaign strategies and the allocation of advertising expenditures. Third, they turn to the dynamics of the Electoral College that propelled Trump to victory, even though he lost the popular vote by almost three million votes.
