4000 precincts later, I have finished one of the biggest projects I have ever done. Here is how Tennessee, my home state, voted during the 2000 and 2016 elections. The 2016 map is in the thread below along with more data, thoughts, and special thanks! (1/9)
Tennessee as a whole shifted 22 points towards Republicans in 16 years. Granted, Gore was the Presidential nominee in 2000, but it is still a very significant shift. (2/9)
Here are the specific margins for each of the Grand Divisions. I've included the margins for '04, '08 and '12 too so that you can see how that shift manifested over the years. All regions shifted to the right, some more than others! (3/9)
Below are the threads I made for each of the Grand Divisions. You can find more info on specific places there, but if you have any questions feel free to ask! My DMs are also open if you want to talk! (4/9)

I worked very hard on this, and I am so happy to see the final product! I don't know what I will do next, but if you have any suggestions or ideas, let me know! (8/9)
