This is fantastic.  How did you get a shapefile so fast? Tongue

Also, the unusually Republican precinct in South Lake Union appears to be the result of the new Mirabella retirement home (props to bgwah) and has brought that precinct down to about 55-45 Dem in the Governor's race (67-26 for Senate)...shouldn't be as GOP in the General, but an interesting aberration in the middle of central Seattle.

Oh, nice.  Good for King County, they've guarded it more in the past.

Would it be possible for you to do a map of Deal's performance by 5% intervals, zoomed in on the City of Seattle? Tongue I know that's more work, but I'd love the amusement.

Go ahead. Some sort of attribution would be cool, though. Wink

Thanks for the maps!

Any chance of a 1st CD Dem primary map?

And this one is semi-complicated... Would it be possible to get a map comparing Inslee and Cantwell? More specifically (since Cantwell almost certainly did better just about everywhere), maybe compare the margins in each race to see where the candidates did better? So you would take Cantwell's number (67.73) minus Inslee's number (59.93) to get that Cantwell did 7.8 points better, and adjust the map accordingly? It's the same math used for the trend maps, basically. So my precinct being 62% Cantwell and 58% Inslee would end up being about 4 points more Inslee.

Here you go. Blue is an area of relative Inslee strength. Red is an area of relative Cantwell strength.

So Seattle is an Inslee town and Bellevue a Cantwell town. That makes sense, I suppose.

I rather like this look, but it's a little different. It's all three counties for the SC Pos 9 race, without the precinct lines. I like how three different candidates won the three major metropolitan areas: Hilyer won Seattle, Ladenburg won Tacoma, and McCloud won Everett. It also clearly shows the impact of county lines.



Edit: Added Thurston County.

Hard number fun on James Robert Deal:

Deal received 6.13% in King County.  He received 11% in Seattle, and 3% outside of the city.  That's even lower than his statewide total (4.%).

Deal's best performances were Georgetown/SoDo (30%), Capitol Hill (26%), Central District (23%), Fremont (18%), South Park (18%), North Beacon Hill (17%), and the U-District (17%).

I think it's also pretty clear that Deal is more or less the Stranger's floor.  I imagine a lot of their devotees weren't willing to vote for an anti-fluoridation crank.  Whatever the cause, there were also a lot of Greene and Republican votes (proportionate to other races) in areas where Deal did better.  Owen was the only Democrat on the ballot, yet his two weakest showings in Seattle were Georgetown/SoDo (38%) and Capitol Hill (50%).

Anyone else get the feeling that R-74 is going to pass by an unexpectedly large margin? The TV ads in favor have started hitting the airways and I think the pro-equality side has done a great job in selecting people to go on air (Pflug, olds, ect).

I am starting to think that something along the lines of 55-45 in favor could be realistic..

Catholic Church is collecting donations at Mass in the next two weeks. NOM will probably drop a boatload of money in sometime in the next few weeks (remember that there are no contribution limits for initiatives).

Expect to see ads very soon about how if R-74 is approved churches will be forced by the government to marry gay couples.

True, although I feel like NOM is busy elsewhere (Maryland, Maine and Minnesota) and I am not sure if they are going to get anywhere close to matching their counterparts fundraising.

Are the Catholics really collecting at Mass to fight gay marriage? ...and they wonder why their congregations in places like Washington are losing young adherents right and left.

No, the ads will be about how YOUR children will be taught in class about how being gay is ok and people of the same-sex will be able to get married, and how they'll be taught about gay sex and be forced to attend their teachers' gay marriages. Then, the referendum will not pass.

There will be a healthy mixture of both.

Not helping McKenna:

Bob McDonnell told Republican Convention delegates from Washington State and Montana at a breakfast yesterday morning that McKenna would govern like Scott Walker has in Wisconsin.

http://hotlineoncall.nationaljournal.com/archives/2012/08/mcdonnell-ties.php#more

McDonnell appears clueless about Washington State politics.
