Can't find the info anywhere. You might have to wait until the Supplement to the Statement of Vote which has results for all cities in California.

Anyone have the breakdown from Duval County? Jacksonville proper might have actually voted for Obama, given where the small non-Jacksonville areas of Duval are (very white, very wealthy beach communities, likely 75%+ McCain). In which case we would have to start a quest to discover the biggest city to vote for McCain.

Anyway, the cities worth checking out are Fort Worth (#17), Oklahoma City (#31), Mesa, Ariz. (#38) and Virginia Beach (#41, confirmed for McCain). Hard to imagine that Mesa didn't vote for McCain, either, and Fort Worth is probably more likely to have done so than Oklahoma City anyway. Of course, if Jacksonville (#12) did vote for McCain, the point is moot.

The Duval data by precinct are on their webpage. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the most recent description of which precincts serve what. So, assuming there wasn't recently any change in precincts and assuming no precincts serve both parts of Jacksonville and parts of the micro suburbs, I just subtracted the results for the precincts that have recently participated in local elections in these suburbs. So, with those two assumptions in mind, we get the following:

City of Jacksonville

McCain Palin 200,675 votes (50.18%)
Obama/Biden 195,900 votes (48.99%)

McCain did win Jacksonville Smiley

That's hard: municipal and county governments are not too closely related. One would have to comb precinct-by-precinct data in many counties. Still, given that both Harris County (bulk of Houston) and Dallas county (bulk of Dallas) voted for Obama (the latter by a good margin), he must have won those. Fort Worth is harder to figure out. Travis county (Austin) is, of course, Obama, as are Bexar (San Antonio) and El Paso. Getting the actual numbers would require hard work Smiley

I'm starting a spreadsheet with the exact results of every city of 100,000 or more.  It would be helpful if raw numbers could be posted.  California can wait for the SOVC.  I basically need cities that aren't counties of their own.  I just need a raw count for Obama, McCain, and "Other" (including write-ins in states that count all write-ins)

Memphis, TN
Note: There are 12 precinct splits where county vs. city results cannot be separated.  In these cases I multiplied the percentage of city residents in the precinct by the votes cast there.

Total Votes: 265667
Obama: 202619 (76.3%)
McCain: 61302 (23.1%)
Barr 446 (0.2%)
Nader 416 (0.2%)
Baldwin 349 (0.1%)
McKinney 160 (0.1%)
Moore 85 (0%)

Thanks Don!  Added to my list.  If you happen to see it any time, I'm also looking for Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga and Clarksville.

Has Phoenix been confirmed for Obama?

Of the top 100 cities, the only other ones that could potentially go for McCain (with varying degrees of likelihood) are: Phoenix suburbs, Colo. Springs, OKC and Tulsa, suburbs of Dallas (and also the city of Corpus Christi) Tex, Wichita, Kan., some in Orange (also Bakersfield and/or Chula Vista) CA, Anchorage, suburbs of Vegas (though prob. not), Fort Wayne, Ind., It's also worth checking out the south Fla. ones due to concentration of Cubans.

If someone can figure out what the heck precincts are within the city of Phoenix, I'll gladly do it.

Edit: Maricopa County basically redirected me to the local political parties, wtf?  Useless.

I have Paterson, NJ courtesy of The Record. I think they combined "Others" in their report, though. I'll have it in a moment.

Paterson, NJ
Obama: 36,417 (89.78%)
McCain: 3,972 (9.79%)
"Others": 174 (0.43%)

Says all you need to know about Passaic County, really.

Has Phoenix been confirmed for Obama?

It voted decisively for Kerry, and Maricopa County swung slightly towards Obama, so I don't think it's worth checking.

Hialeah is the only really big heavily Cuban city (other than Miami, of course). But I think it's fairly Democratic nonetheless. Would have to check, of course.

Hialeah might be the only city in Miami-Dade that McCain won.

Its just that the non-Cuban Hispanics are increasing in number and are way more Democratic than the Cubans.
