Election Results in Counties with Flagship Universities

The Democratic vote margin in each county with a public flagship university since 2000.

Alaska was excluded from the analysis because it does not have county-level election data from the 2016 presidential election. Also, in the few states that have multiple “flagships,” we picked just one. 2020 numbers are preliminary and may change as final votes are counted in some states.
