NYC - Map of results by Assembly District; now with added Queens!

QUEENS ADDED

I think Obama's best district was 57; McCain polled like 1% there. McCain's best was 48. Both are in Brooklyn and there's only one district between them. I think 48 is Dov Hikind's district.

If the lines look a little wonky in places it's because I drew the district outlines myself and racial gerrymandering is as evil to draw on such a small scale as it is morally.

2008 or 2000? (it refers to Obama and McCain, but is in the 2000 forum)

Ah... it's 2008... I'll ask the mod to move it then...

Mostly working class residentialish. Basically no Blacks. Depending on the district, we're talking lots of Orthodox Jews (I think (most of?) Borough Park is in 48) or lots of Italians (Russians as well in the easternmost one). Bay Ridge is more affluent (and more Irish) and voted for Obama, though is in the same district as part of Staten Island so is blue on the map.

Just double-checked and it was 1.89%.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Just because...



Map shows % leads for the State Assembly elections (2008). Loads of uncontested races, obviously.

Great stuff, though you might want to remove my signature from them

It looks like Weiner won some of the blacker parts of Brooklyn

Only because there are Jews in those areas as well.

Why wouldn't Weiner be huge amongst blacks?

Because he's Jewish.

Have difficulty believing that McCain won NY-8; Kerry won it by like 45pts and it includes some really, really strong districts for Obama with higher turnouts than the Hassidic areas in Brooklyn. NY-9 is possible, I guess, though we need Queens figures to tell.

while carrying working class NYC.

Well, certain (better off) bits of it anyway. He didn't exactly do well in the Bronx

Pretty sure that McCain only really did well in Hassidic areas; correct me if I'm wrong (please do, btw. Pittsburgh is interesting) but I don't think that Squirrel Hill has many Hasidim.

Btw, do you have, like, a map of the wards and ward results for Pittsburgh?

Pretty sure that McCain only really did well in Hassidic areas;

Some Russian areas as well.

Ah, the district does extend a little further east than I remembered, yes.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

These are Hasidic Jewish areas (and some Orthodox areas)--they always vote strongly Republican.

Spitzer seems to have won them

(Actually, I think Clinton, just about, did as well).

Ya, the blue area furthest to the east includes Brighton Beach.

I'd have to look at it precinct-by-precinct, of course.

And some of the most Russian parts of it as well.

Queens added!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Wait, what's the dark grey for?

Airport

So Brooklyn has more Republican areas than Queens. Interesting, especially Brooklyn is the borough I'd most like to live in.

Yeah, but the parts of Brooklyn that voted McCain probably aren't the parts of Brooklyn you'd have much interest living in.
