Title: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on February 21, 2011, 07:11:55 PM I am writing to you, friends, as I have nearly completed a great project. Over the past two months I have gone grubbing county-by-county in New York for election results statistics. I made nearly forty phone calls, sent twelve letters, spent nearly $30 of my own very limited money and spent hundreds of hours banging away on my laptop computer and it's still not done. But it's very close. I have not recieved statistics from only three of New York's counties and have complete statistics from five different elections in over fifty. So I have started to assemble some maps, and will post them here for your viewing pleasure. I will fill in the holes in the maps as I finish up the data collection.
I'm proud to say that I can assemble (nearly complete) maps and data sets from any race in New York from the 2006, 2008 and 2010 general elections, the 2008 presidential primaries and the 2010 primaries, with only a few exceptions. I await your requests. Yours truly, hc Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: RI on February 21, 2011, 07:14:55 PM Presidential primaries please. :)
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on February 21, 2011, 07:24:08 PM Presidential primaries please. :) Sure. I am missing four counties: Lewis, Ontario, Nassau and Suffolk (exorbitant prices!), but the rest looks pretty damn good. 2008 Democratic Primary: () 2008 Republican Primary: () Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on February 21, 2011, 08:57:14 PM Would the 2010 Comptroller race be at all interesting? It's the closest we've gotten to a 50/50 statewide race in New York recently.
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on February 21, 2011, 09:18:39 PM That map is about half complete. I will put some more work into it. So far the only Democratic wins upstate are in the cities (Utica, Syracuse, Albany, Buffalo), in Tompkins County and way up in the North Country. Wilson managed to win Salamanca and Geneseo.
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: RI on February 22, 2011, 12:51:21 AM The 2010 Governor's race would be interesting, just to see the divide between the Buffalo area and the rest of the state.
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: cinyc on February 22, 2011, 12:57:45 AM What is the candidate color code for the 2008 maps?
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: RI on February 22, 2011, 12:58:49 AM What is the candidate color code for the 2008 maps? The 2008 D map used Atlas colors. The 2008 R map has red as McCain, green as Romney, and yellow as Huckabee. Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on February 22, 2011, 08:31:29 AM Here's what I have for the gubernatorial race so far.
() Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: nclib on February 23, 2011, 07:15:48 PM Good work as usual, hc!
Can you list the major cities and towns that voted for Obama in the primary? Certainly Ithaca, Poughkeepsie, Buffalo, perhaps Rochester if I'm reading the map correctly. Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on February 23, 2011, 07:47:50 PM Good work as usual, hc! Can you list the major cities and towns that voted for Obama in the primary? Certainly Ithaca, Poughkeepsie, Buffalo, perhaps Rochester if I'm reading the map correctly. Here are all of them (except for counties that I don't have data for). MONROE COUNTY: Rochester TOMPKINS COUNTY: Ithaca City (Obama's best municipality in New York - 67.5% of the vote) Ithaca Town Lansing Dryden Ulysses Newfield Danby Caroline SCHUYLER COUNTY: Cayuta ERIE COUNTY: Buffalo LIVINGSTON COUNTY: Geneseo ALLEGANY COUNTY: Almond Alfred Allen Centerville CATTARAUGUS COUNTY: New Albion MADISON COUNTY: Hamilton ESSEX COUNTY: Keene Essex Westport WASHINGTON COUNTY: Dresden Hampton WARREN COUNTY: Stony Creek (tie) SCHOHARIE COUNTY: Blenheim OTSEGO COUNTY: Otsego Westford Springfield RENSSELAER COUNTY: Petersburgh (tie) GREENE COUNTY: Lexington ORANGE COUNTY: Newburgh City ULSTER COUNTY: Rosendale Rochester New Paltz Shandaken Olive Marbletown Hardenburgh Woodstock COLUMBIA COUNTY: Austerlitz Hillsdale Chatham Gallatin Taghkanic Germantown DUTCHESS COUNTY: Clinton Stanford Washington Millerton Milan Pine Plains Red Hook Rhinebeck Beacon Poughkeepsie City PUTNAM COUNTY: Phillipstown WESTCHESTER COUNTY: Pelham Mount Vernon North Salem Pound Ridge Bedford Peekskill Rye City - Did you get my PM, nclib? Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: historybuff on February 24, 2011, 01:09:35 PM Do you have a map of the 2010 republican primary for governor that you could post?
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on February 24, 2011, 01:24:15 PM I do, in fact. It's just not as complete as the others.
() Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: historybuff on February 24, 2011, 01:33:27 PM Other maps that would be instersting to see if you have them are the 2010 republican senate primary to replace Hillary Clinton and the 2000 senate race.
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: historybuff on February 24, 2011, 03:06:22 PM Another one that would be fun to see if you have it is the 2002 governor race. If it's going to take you a lot of time and hard worked to get the maps I have requested don't bother with making them.
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on February 24, 2011, 03:16:21 PM As I said in the OP, I only have results from 2006, 2008 and 2010. I am currently working on the primary you mentioned, however, and will post that as soon as I finish it.
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: HST1948 on February 25, 2011, 10:04:55 PM The 2008 General Presidential Election would be interesting. I have always wondered how my town votes in presidential elections. Thanks!

() Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: nclib on February 25, 2011, 10:38:42 PM Here are all of them (except for counties that I don't have data for). I put my guesses at why they voted so. MONROE COUNTY: Rochester - urban, U. of Roch., and 40% black TOMPKINS COUNTY: Ithaca City (Obama's best municipality in New York - 67.5% of the vote) a university town: Cornell and Ithaca (rest are in commuting distance) Ithaca Town Lansing Dryden Ulysses Newfield Danby Caroline SCHUYLER COUNTY: Cayuta - also commuting distance of Ithaca ERIE COUNTY: Buffalo - urban and 37% black LIVINGSTON COUNTY: Geneseo - SUNY Geneseo ALLEGANY COUNTY: (don't know about these) Almond Alfred Allen Centerville CATTARAUGUS COUNTY: (don't know) New Albion MADISON COUNTY: Hamilton - Colgate U ESSEX COUNTY: (don't know) Keene Essex Westport WASHINGTON COUNTY: (don't know) Dresden Hampton WARREN COUNTY: (don't know) Stony Creek (tie) SCHOHARIE COUNTY: Blenheim - tiny OTSEGO COUNTY: (don't know) Otsego Westford Springfield RENSSELAER COUNTY: (don't know) Petersburgh (tie) GREENE COUNTY: Lexington - tiny ORANGE COUNTY: Newburgh City - urban, 33% black ULSTER COUNTY: - music and art, especially Woodstock Rosendale Rochester New Paltz Shandaken Olive Marbletown Hardenburgh Woodstock COLUMBIA COUNTY: (not sure, though this general area has several Obama towns) Austerlitz Hillsdale Chatham Gallatin Taghkanic Germantown DUTCHESS COUNTY: Clinton Stanford Washington Millerton - music scene Milan Pine Plains Red Hook - Bard College Rhinebeck Beacon Poughkeepsie City - urban, Vassar Coll. PUTNAM COUNTY: (don't know) Phillipstown WESTCHESTER COUNTY: Pelham Mount Vernon - urban, majority black North Salem Pound Ridge Bedford Peekskill Rye City Quote - Did you get my PM, nclib? Yes. Thank you. Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on February 26, 2011, 09:15:51 AM ALLEGANY COUNTY: (don't know about these) These have so few Democrats that Obama won with a majority of only a few votes.
Almond Alfred Allen Centerville CATTARAUGUS COUNTY: (don't know) Same as above. New Albion ESSEX COUNTY: (don't know) These towns rely on tourism from the Adirondack Mountains and have a large population of liberals who enjoy the hiking and skiing. Keene Essex Westport OTSEGO COUNTY: Similar to the above, with the Catskills replacing the Adirondacks. Otsego Westford Springfield COLUMBIA COUNTY: (not sure, though this general area has several Obama towns) This region, along with the Obama towns in Dutchess, Putnam, Rensselaer and Washington counties is very ideologically and politically correlate with towns across the border in Massachusetts and Vermont Austerlitz Hillsdale Chatham Gallatin Taghkanic Germantown DUTCHESS COUNTY: Clinton Stanford Washington Millerton - music scene Milan Pine Plains Red Hook - Bard College Rhinebeck Beacon Poughkeepsie City - urban, Vassar Coll. PUTNAM COUNTY: (don't know) Phillipstown WESTCHESTER COUNTY: Liberal whites plus blacks from the cities. Pelham Mount Vernon - urban, majority black North Salem Pound Ridge Bedford Peekskill Rye City Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on March 06, 2011, 07:31:14 PM Time for an update. This map shows the strength of the strongest third party in each town from the 2010 gubernatorial election. It's one of my all-time favorites.
Green: Howie Hawkins (Green Party), who lives in Syracuse. Yellow: Warren Redlich (Libertarian Party), who lives in Guilderland, which is just outside of Albany. Blue: Jimmy McMillan (Rent is 2 Damn High Party) Purple: Kristin Davis (Antiprohibition Party), who was endorsed by the mayor of Watertown. Red: Charles Barron (Freedom Party), who lives in Brooklyn. () Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: RI on March 06, 2011, 08:00:52 PM That is an awesome map, homelycooking.
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: Lunar on March 07, 2011, 02:12:07 AM FYI -- Barron lives in East New York, Brooklyn! :)
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on March 07, 2011, 08:31:45 AM Thanks, Lunar. I fixed that.
The 2010 Gubernatorial Map and Third Parties Strength Map have now been updated to include Dutchess County. () () Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: Lunar on March 07, 2011, 11:02:59 PM Can't wait for it to finish!
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on March 08, 2011, 09:22:43 AM I won't be able to finish it in the near future. Very soon I'll be getting the results for the four upstate counties I'm missing (Monroe, Lewis, Hamilton, Westchester), but the prices that Nassau and Suffolk Counties have demanded for photocopies of their canvass books are exorbitant, so I won't be able to acquire the results unless I get some research funding.
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: cinyc on March 08, 2011, 02:47:55 PM Westchester's recent canvass books are available online here:

I have the data I need from the other years.
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on March 10, 2011, 08:54:56 PM Here are some demographic maps I made a while ago.
Percent white: () Percent Asian: () I can do percent Hispanic/black/native etc. if you'd like. Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: Niemeyerite on March 11, 2011, 10:58:08 AM It'd be interesting to see the percent native map haha
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on March 13, 2011, 11:11:54 AM The 2010 Republican Gubernatorial Primary map has been updated to include Ontario County.
(If you're wondering why Montgomery County has no town detail, it's only because the election officials there were having trouble implementing their new voting system and can't recall which voting machine corresponds to which town.) () Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on March 14, 2011, 04:11:55 PM More updates.
The 2008 Presidential Primaries maps have been updated to include Ontario County. () () And here are two maps from the 2010 Primaries - Gubernatorial and Lieutenant Gubernatorial for the GOP. Note Gregory Edwards' effect on bringing down Paladino margins in the North and along the PA border. Green: Lazio/Edwards Blue: Paladino/Ognibene () () Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: Nhoj on March 15, 2011, 12:13:32 PM What is up with that green township over in Chautauqua county? It seems weird that one township likes lazio.
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on March 15, 2011, 12:22:18 PM What is up with that green township over in Chautauqua county? It seems weird that one township likes lazio. I think it has to do with the strength of Gregory Edwards (Lazio's running mate) in Chautauqua. Edwards is from the county, though he lives in Jamestown, not Clymer (the green township). Clymer is also relatively small (population 1500). Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on March 16, 2011, 03:46:05 PM The primaries maps have been updated to include Ulster County.
() () And the gubernatorial map now includes Westchester County.

Dutchess County has also been added. Blue is Joseph DioGuardi, Red is David Malpass and Green is Bruce Blakeman.

() () Now, it's time to get serious with Nassau County. Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: RI on April 11, 2011, 06:45:00 PM Did you just get 2010 for Suffolk County?
Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: Lunar on April 11, 2011, 06:47:26 PM Did you just get 2010 for Suffolk County? Yup! This guy's hustle is bananas Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on May 31, 2011, 12:50:41 PM This one's going in my signature tomorrow. It took five days of work, two to three hours each day.

Title: Re: The homelycooking New York Town Maps Thread Post by: homelycooking on June 17, 2011, 09:24:01 AM Do you have downstate? A little. NYC organized their data by assembly district on their website. I managed to get some files from Suffolk County at great expense and with the assistance of Lunar. Nassau County is useless.
