One of my 2018 New Year's resolution was to learn Tableau. Waited until Dec., but I did it!

I decided to map DeKalb County, GA's performance for the 2018 governor's race.

Note that precincts moved and there have been county level inaccuracies. Receipt: ajc.com/news/state--re…

Turnout in DeKalb surpassed the 2014 turnout of 53%, reaching 63% in 2018. 2016 turnout was 76%. The precincts with the highest turnout fall in the Decatur/Avondale and Northlake area. Convington Hwy had the lowest turnout at 26%. #gapol #electiontwitter

No precinct in DeKalb reached 2016 turnout. If so, Stacey Abrams would be governor. Precincts in red are those with the lowest performance compared to 2016. Note that precinct boundaries changed. Stonecrest didn't exist in 2016. #gapol #electiontwitter

This past election, Democrats flipped 3 seats and is now all Democrat. There was about a 3% increase in Democratic votes with Stacey Abrams' winning 83% of the votes. She only lost 6 precincts out of 190. #gapol #electiontwitter #DeKalbVotes

In almost all precincts, Abrams' margin increased to 2016. The biggest increases occurred in the Chamblee/Doraville/Brookhaven area. Again, precinct boundaries shifted, explaining the massive shifts in the Henderson Mill area. #gapol #electiontwitter

I created maps by the commissioner districts in DeKalb to "cluster votes" and to demonstrate contrast between data sets where possible. #DeKalbVotes #gapol #electiontwitter
