Thanks to everyone who suggested weighting by township vote totals! I did that -- and have more data now -- and the chart looks like this:pic.twitter.com/6pCGJBI1rR

i'm curious as to why this continues to be such a big storyline. doesn't it just make perfect sense that he would get a lower % of the vote in a 6+ person field rather than 2? the idea that he'd retain every single vote when people have infinitely more choices seems crazy to me
I'd like to add maybe Hillary was a bad candidate and a lot of people just picked Bernie in 2016 because "not Hillary." This further exacerbates the absurdity of the vote share headlines.
There. Is. 10. Other. Candidates.
Are. There are.
This is an odd take considering the number of candidates in the race versus 2016.
Regression to the mean, anyone?
Oh wow. One question: are you using township vote totals as weights in creating that regression line? I wonder how much small towns are driving this relationship
Love the chart! Building on statewide vs. town share, it really looks like this is Warren strength along the VT border
The results provide an interesting look at the difference between a binary choice for voters and the "choose your flavor" type of field this time around, I think, especially if you can pare down the anti-vote directed at Clinton. This is a more realistic look at his base.
