These Republican political scientists probably aren’t your normal Republicans, however. Although there is no reliable polling data that I’m aware of on Republican political scientists and their vote choice in 2016, I decided to take a look at how the precincts around some college campuses voted in the 2016 Republican presidential primary.

Specifically, I looked at the precincts around Harvard University (Cambridge), the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa), University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), University of Texas (Austin) and the University of Wisconsin (Madison).
