Hearing rumors of massive turnout on Long Island relative to NYC.
Almost 350K voters have voted in Suffolk County as of 3PM. That's almost 230K today alone: 189.66% of their early vote, and 31.55% of total RVs (Early + ED).
“Ceasefire” received 71 votes in the NH college town of Durham. 1710 total votes were cast, so in one of its best possible towns, “Ceasefire” received 4.2% of the vote.
Biden won the town - and the overwhelming majority of WIs with 1,205 votes (70.5%).
Joe Biden won the city of Chicago 82-16. Yet as the precinct map below shows, Donald Trump did win some precincts, largely near the airports and Evergreen Park.
Next up from What's happening: People are confused by a Tweet saying Andrew Cuomo enacted policies that killed nursing home patients and sexually harassed women, given that Governor Cuomo is an Emmy Award winner whose book was read by thousands.
The U.S. Census Bureau finally released the 2020 Census ancestry and racial subgroup data on Thursday. More on this to follow in this thread.
My interactive map of the Top Ancestry or Racial or Hispanic subgroup in every US census tract is now live:
Census released its 2015-19 5-year American Community Survey on Thursday.
Here's this year's nationwide Top Ancestry or Hispanic or Racial Subgroup with AA Estimate map. It's still largely American and AA in the South, German in the Midwest, Mexican in the SW & Euros in the NE.
Map of the 2022 NY Governor unofficial election night results by the newly adopted NYC City Council districts.
Zeldin won 8/51 NYC CCDs - 15.6%, while winning over 30% of the citywide vote. Zeldin came very close to winning 3 CCDs.
Final Round Precinct Winner Map of the 2021 NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary. Adams won it 50.4%-49.6%, largely due to strength in African-American, Hispanic and some Asian and Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods.
The San Fransisco School Board Collins Recall results by SF Neighborhood Map*. Yes is winning every neighborhood. It's weakest in the Mission District, Western Addition and North Bernal Heights. Not surprisingly Chinatown has one of the highest Yes votes.

Marmorato flipped an East Bronx NYC City Council seat tonight. The precinct winner map.
She cleaned up in traditionally Italian-American areas like Country Club and Throggs Neck, and kept margins down in the more Hispanic parts, too.
@PatrickRuffini
If I said NY held an election where non-Hispanic NYC Asians voted more Republican than non-Hispanic NYC Whites, would you believe me?
A precinct analysis of NYC appears to show this to be the case.
My first Censusmas map is of the PCT Change from 2010 to 2020 by county. Red = pop increase; Blue = pop decrease. It's reddest in the west and metro areas of the South.

President Biden handily won Democrats in most countries, except in some in the Middle East and Uruguay.

There are no 60K seat stadiums in Alaska. Kind of hard to fill one of those up for anything when there are ~400K within an hour's drive.
The Alaska Airlines Center holds 5K. Sullivan Arena holds a bit more (8-9K), but it is being fixed up after being used as a homeless shelter.
A map of the Presidential Straw Poll in Guam. Biden won every municipality. Biden's worst showing was in Mongmong-Toto-Maite near the capital of Hagtna. and areas on the Northern part of the island near Andersen AFB.
I bet nobody else will ever make this map.
Corrected 2PM Rochester City numbers from the Monroe County BoE:
-Total Rochester city: 14.2%
-Total Towns: 24.6%
-Totals: 22.3%
There should be a 5 Alarm fire for the Hochul campaign in the city of Rochester right now.
Zeldin took the lead in Nassau, 51-49 with 227,156 ballots now counted there, per the Nassau County BoE website.
Westchester is at 57-43 Hochul with 68,063 ballots counted.

- 2020 Trump "swing" on the 2022 precinct map. The redder the precinct, the better Zeldin did vs Trump '20.
The reddest areas were in NE Queens, S Brooklyn and the whitest parts of Bronx.
Overall, Zeldin improved on Trump's 2-party PCT by 7.2 points.
PCT of RVs who have turned out so far, NYC:
-Manhattan 21.72%
-Bronx 11.25%
-Brooklyn 17.35%
-Queens 15.19%
-Staten Island 20.40%
Citywide: 17.02%
(Excludes absentees)
Final cumulative NYS early vote stats by region:
-1,178,674 total Early Vote checkins, ~47% of 2020
-Mid-Hudson, LI are closest to 2020 at over 64%
-NYC signifciantly lags at 38.66%
-Every other region is about at the statewide average
By my back-of-the-envelope calculations, 11.8% of New York Dem voters blanked or overvoted their ballots, largely to protest the Gaza war. The spoilage ranged from almost 25% in Brooklyn to about 3% in Wayne.
Map of spoilage rate by county vs 11.8% SW. Green >11.8; purple <11.8.
I've finally preliminarily parsed the AK US House and Senate CVRs. Things add up, but still may be off at the edges.
Unlike in the special, had Palin been eliminated, Begich would have lost 55.4-44.6%. This is slightly worse than Palin's 55-45% actual performance.
London released its ward results today. Here's the map of the in-person first preferences for Mayor WITHOUT allocating the postal votes to wards. That's next, time permitting. The election was really largely an inner vs outer London thing.

NYC Checkins as of Noon (Total column includes ED + Early):
RV PCT is % OF CITY
-ED turnout is ~105% of Early.
-Manhattan lags it early votes the most (cannibalism?)
-Bronx turnout is still way below its RVs, even on ED
-Brooklyn, Queens, SI about average citywide PCT of RVs.
Census released its 7-1-2022 incorporated place population estimates today. Thus, my annual weekend of endless incorporated place population change maps is almost upon us!
For now, here's the static 2020-2022 city population change map. Purple = pop loss; green = gain.
Your final unofficial South Carolina R Pres Primary precinct winner map. Haley won richer, higher educated suburbs. Trump won the rest of the state.
Final unofficial margin of the night is 59.8-39.5%.
Haley won SC-1 and likely SC-6, and will take 3 or 6 delegates to Trump's 44…
Map of the first round winner in the 2021 Mayoral Primary by new CD. Yang barely won the portion of NY-3 in NYC + NY-5. Wiley won NY-7. Garcia took NY-10 & 12 on Manhattan. Adams won the rest.

Political analysts should put their partisan affiliation in their Twitter bios.
There is no such thing as non-partisan analysis. Everyone is biased one way or another.

"Ceasfire" received 3 write-in votes in Boscawen, NH, a suburb of Concord. As a write-in, "Ceasefire" was beaten by Biden (155), Haley (21) and Trump (8) in the D primary.
309 votes were cast there, meaning Ceasefire got <1%.

American citizens have a right to return to their country. You can’t force a vax as a condition of returning home. Your order would also condemn citizens living overseas in countries without access to US approved vaccines to never be able to get home.
How did

Adams and

As the map shows, Sliwa won new NY-11 and the portion of NY-3 in NYC. NY-6 was very close: Adams won it by less than 1 point.*

, a map of the 1864 Election in NYC by ward. General McClellan (D) won the election over Abraham Lincoln 2-1 in the city, which just included Manhattan Island at the time. Lincoln won 1 ward - in Greenwich Village (actually a slight improvement over 1860).
About 125K Democratic absentees have been received by the NYC BoE through today. Here's a 3D spinning map of AD winners so far (from the election night vote), where height = number of absentees received.
As you can see, Garcia-leaning districts have more absentees in than Adams.

Ever wonder how
@WilliamFBuckley
fared in his 1965 NYC Mayoral bid?
As the interactive map of the 1965 race shows, Buckley (in orange), running on the Conservative Party line, won quite a few precincts despite only taking 13.4% of the vote.
NYC released a draft 2020s City Council District redistricting map today.

Area Winner Map of the LA Mayor's race. Caruso won the SF Valley & much of West LA; Bass won Downtown and much of Central LA & Venice Beach.
Note that this was aggregated from the precinct data, joining precinct names to the subprecinct shp - so it could be slightly off.
VA Beach is one of the few VA localities that reports election day checkins. A gif of VA Beach turnout as of about 9AM (EV + ED). Citywide, 16.8% of RVs have voted - about 34% of the 2021 vote.
It appears relative turnout is generally higher in Youngkin-voting areas - but this…
NY Gov (and future VP) Nelson Rockefeller (R) ran for reelection in 1966. He beat his Dem opponent, Queens DA Frank O'Connor, by about 6 points, but was held under 50% because of strong Conservative (Adams) and Liberal (Roosevelt) Party candidates. The town/city winner map:
A tale of three VA electorates:
Mail: 74.9% McAuliffe

Asians. Stuyvesant was 6% Asian in 1970, 50% in 1994 and 70ish% today. The white percentage dropped significantly from nearly 80% to around 20% today.
NYC's Asian population also has significantly grown over that period to over 1,000,000. Asians are now 14% of NYC's pop.
Welcome to the weekend of never-ending town population change maps!
Census released its 2022 incorporated placepop estimates on Thursday, so here comes a cartographic cavalcade.
First, the nationwide 2020-22, 2020-21 and 2021-22 town pop change gif. S & W generally gained.
Now that I have data for all 62 counties, here's some aggregate early vote statistics for NYS:
First, 2022 turnout vs 2020. It's most down in NYS, and most up on Long Island vs 2022.
Map of the 1860 Presidential Election Results by Ward in Pittsburgh, PA. Abraham Lincoln won every ward - but not every precinct (2 of the 9 wards had 2 precincts; the rest had 1). I haven't found any precinct descriptions yet, so I can't map that.

President Joe Biden commandingly won today's South Carolina Primary with 96.2% of the vote. Because the precinct winner map would be just a boring blob of blue, here's a map of where Biden overperformed (green) and underperformed (purple) that 96.2%. Upcountry GSP is purplest.

The Democratic base is much more complicated than just saying it’s college educated voters. In particular, it’s African-Americans, young progressives (some of whom might not be college educated) and college educated women, among others.
California voters practiced The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck about Katie Porter, who unironically read the book on the House Floor during the speaker fight.
Fitting.

They both won game 7s. They are battle tested. Wild Card and lesser division teams have been ending up in the Series since the Wild Card was a thing.
Do a lot of people know the Rangers and Diamondbacks? Not really. But that’s because of real media bias for the coastal teams.
