The Gillibrand map would be great too, for comparison.  Smiley

For Nathan. I have the complete Rensselaer data from 2000 but no precinct boundaries to map them to. The best I can do is a town map... sorry, I hope you'll understand.

I understand. Thank you very much; it's interesting how far that part of New York has trended in the past decade.

Why is Ulster County so Democratic compared to the surrounding upstate counties? It's one of the few upstate counties that voted for DiNapoli in 2010.

Well, you can see very well where in New York State there are still families that are working. Grin

Why does it appear as if hippies, college students and the like were the only ones to vote WF in big numbers?

Because the WFP is more of a pressure group than a political party. Their principal tactic is to lend (or deprive) electoral support from Democrats or Republicans through extensive use of electoral fusion. So, most people who vote WFP are both well-informed enough to understand what the party is trying to accomplish with fusion and far enough to the left ideologically to value the WFP's goal of pushing politics in a more progressive direction.

It is a silly name, though in my corner of Northern New York I know a number of people who almost always vote on that party line. Ironically, most party supporters who I know derive a large portion of their income from some kind of public assistance.

What county/city/town do you live in?

Ever heard of Woodstock? It's in the central part of the county. The area has long been a popular meeting place for artistic and bohemian types.

Woodstock is in the north of Ulster County - it borders Greene County. It's filled in with the darkest shade because it had the second highest WFP vote in New York at 12.8%. Only the city of Ithaca had a greater percentage (14.1%)

That's the extra-special feature. In those CDs there was a Democrat running unopposed. Rather than color every town in with the darkest shade of red, I calculated the percentage of the Democratic candidate against the total number of ballots cast - elsewhere the R/D candidates' percentages are calculated against the total number of valid ballots cast - and colored the towns accordingly, shading them in purple to distinguish from the districts where a Democrat won every town but ran with Republican opposition.

Also, how do you create your maps? ArcGIS?

I highly doubt it.

You're right. I hack it with JPG screenshots from Dave's Redistricting.

To Averroes: Keep in mind that Clinton did really well all across the state of New York, and that some counties, especially Jefferson and St. Lawrence, will just be colored in with lots of 60% and 70% shades. The Republican map is especially boring.




I will do Livingston tomorrow, however. I can't do Lewis at all because they can't find the data at the county's board of elections!

Obama didn't win a single precinct in either Potsdam or Canton, and didn't come close in the vast majority of them. I think Obama's best performance in a precinct there was something like 43%.

Livingston and Ontario in the Democratic primary. Obama won only Geneseo of the towns represented here.

Could you do a precinct map for 2010 and 2008 congressional races?

Which races? Don't say "all of them".

Neat shit, and thanks for posting. Any idea how many votes were cast in the Obama precinct in South Bristol, Ontario County?

South Bristol precinct 2
Barack Obama 33
Hillary Clinton 32
Bill Richardson 1
John Edwards 1
Dennis Kucinich 1
TOTAL VOTE 68

Also, if "Mr. X" doesn't specify his preference, you should assume that he wants to see the 2009 (special) & 2010 results from the 23rd Congressional District.

Really? Wink

And here's Livingston-Ontario on the Republican side. Yes, that's Mike Huckabee winning the yellow precinct in Lima.

The seats that changed hands both years (or if that's too much, than the seats in which the incumbent was defeated both years).
