The New York Times just showed the 2016 presidential election as it’s never been seen before.

The New York Times' The Upshot put together an extremely detailed map of how every precinct voted in the 2016 presidential election.

Some areas show overwhelming support for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. But small pockets still existed in those giant areas where results went the other way.

What it shows about Utah: Utah voted overwhelmingly red across the state. But pockets of blue appeared in Salt Lake County, as well as Park City and Ogden areas.

For example, Dallas Baptist University voted for Trump, even though the Dallas metro area leaned toward Clinton.

Cities: Other major metropolitan areas showed a similar trend. In areas like Detroit, Baltimore and Minneapolis-St. Paul, the cities themselves leaned Democrat, but the towns outside the city limits voted Republican.
