King County, WA, Obama (red) vs. Gay marriage (blue):



Same type of dynamic as Snohomish County. Rich areas were much more favorable to gay marriage than Obama, while poorer and minoritied areas were the opposite.

Very cool! What's up with the northern part of King County? Is it similar to the areas around Federal Way and Renton? Also I see some red around Bellevue...I guess Asians? Sad

Obama v. Marijuana (red is Obama, blue is marijuana)



Much more of an urban/rural divide here, but the rich/poor/minoritied areas still voted like they did for gay marriage.

Bellevue has non-negligible Hispanic population as well. Also, for northern King County, look back at my Snohomish County map. Shoreline, Bothell, Lake Forest Park, even the northern reaches of Seattle have more in common with Mountlake Terrace, Edmonds, and Lynnwood than Capitol Hill.

I would request to see my three home counties -- Kings, NY; Champaign, IL; and Cuyahoga, OH.

You should be able to do a map on the Maryland side of the DC Metro (Montgomery Co., Prince George's Co., Washington, D.C.)

There you go. Let him focus on the areas that have not been done by news organizations.

Since the precinct shapefiles should be the same as in the 2012 Virginia presidential election, how difficult would it be to do a precinct map for the U.S. Senate election in Virginia? I'm not sure how you did the map of Virginia by precinct when I've only been able to find precinct results county-by-county.

I just love how the people who voted for Romney because Obama was for "big government" also voted against legalizing gay marriage and marijuana.

Tea Party hypocrisy never fails to amaze.

What's the explanation behind that single Romney precinct in Seattle?

This might be the best map I've ever made.

Compare the 2012 map to the 2008 map:
Of course, the projections and resolutions are different.

Obama won almost every precinct in Mason county again. Beautiful map, I wish the 2012 results could make there way into DRA!

I should have the R-74 map up in a couple of days. Depends on when I have the time.

*drools*

Thank you.

Also, were there any precincts that voted 100% for/against R-74? Any of them have more than a handful of voters?

Benton County had a 20-0 Rejected precinct (it was 20-1-1 Romney) and a 47-0 Rejected precinct that appears to be a random Mormon enclave.

The biggest 100% Approved precinct had only 8 votes.  The lowest performance for R-74 in a populous precinct was 1.72% (628-11).

Figured I'd put up my map of town results in New England. This by no means follows the color scheme USElectionAtlas.org does. Figured I'd use ArcMap to make a map as opposed to Paint for once.

Yowza! You're the best, realistic.

Is there any way to post that image so that we can zoom in for greater detail?

If you click on the map, it gets rather large. You should be able to see everything fairly easily. Is there a specific area you want a zoomed in shot of?

I don't know why it appeared so much smaller earlier today. I can see it supersized now, thanks!

Seems a little strange that a big city like Richmond has so few voting districts. Buffalo, NY is of a similar size and has something like 300-400 precincts.
VRA. Reviewing precinct boundaries takes DOJ approval in the South. While a formality, it's still a bother, so Southern precincts tend to remain more stable - and be huge in the suburbs.

Yet another win for South Carolina election law.  Once a precinct reaches a certain size, it has to be split.

Not sure whether you're using Atlas colors or normal colors, but either way you appear to have the colors reversed in Connecticut from the rest of the map.
