Methodology: Take the number of districts (2 fewer than the number of electors). Based on the reported vote percentages in the state, apportion districts to Trump and Clinton, rounding normally. If there are extra districts due to rounding, allot them to 3rd party. Based on the county-by-county results, try to approximately choose districts correctly, geographically

Note that this analysis underestimates the number of electors from small states, because each state has electors equal to the number of Senators and Representatives combined. So. for example, MT has three electors, but only one district. Also, DCs electors aren’t represented here at all.
