An interesting read. Not sure what to think of it, yet.

I think they forgot to take something huge into account when they say who won what percentage of the economy.

A lot of people work in cities, but live outside of them. It's not terribly uncommon anymore to work in a different county than you live. Even here, I know a lot of people who live in Clermont or Butler county (won by Trump by 41 and 29 points, respectively), but work in Hamilton (won by Clinton by 9 points). I have sibling and their spouse who both work in DC, but live in Virginia.

Just because a county produces that economy, doesn't mean the people who do the jobs to produce that economy live in those counties.

I think Clinton probably would have still had a larger portion of the economy even when taking that into account (all those Hollywood people paraded out one after another, Silicon Valley, NYC), but it'd be less so than that article lists.
