This is a pickup of 90 municipalities relative to Christie's 2009 contest against John Corzine.  Buono carried the largest two municipalities of Newark and Jersey City, but only one other (Patterson) in the top 29 municipalities ranked by total votes cast.  Buono’s strongest municipality with over 1,000 votes cast was in East Orange (Essex County) where she won 87.6% to 11.3% (a margin of 8,201 votes).  Similarly, Christie’s strongest municipality with greater than 1,000 votes cast was in Colts Neck (Monmouth County) ,  where he won 83.4% to 15.1% (a margin of 2,152 votes).  Buono’s strength was limited to the urban centers surrounding Camden, Trenton, and Newark, while Christie was strong everywhere else – especially in Ocean County and the northwestern portions of the state.

There's a suspiciously huge swing in Union City from 2009 to 2013: Christie improved from 20.3% to 58.1%, while Buono took only 40.6% of the vote in comparison with Corzine's 77.5%!

Is a swing that large in favor of the Republicans (74.6%) actually correct?

This is a pretty dramatic turn - the result in the Statement of Vote at Hudson County shows Buono with 4,651 and Christie with 6,653 in Union City.

Enjoy,
