Does anyone know where I can find a map of the gubernatorial race results by municipality?   


You won't be able to until the NJ Board of Elections publishes the data necessary to make such a map.

Oh, sure, but I'd rather wait a week or two for the very nice NJ BOE tables than go county-by-county for the municipal-level results.

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?

Union City may be New Jersey's most heavily Hispanic-populated municipality, but none of the other heavily-Hispanic cities in the state behaved anything like this.

If one switches the vote totals - to Christie 4651 (40.6%), Buono 6653 (58.1%) - one arrives at a swing to Christie of 39.6%, which is far more reasonable and very much in line with other swings in Hudson County and the state. (The exit poll suggested that the swing amongst Hispanics statewide was indeed very large - but, remarkably, it was actually 39%!)

Could the local officials really have made such a stupid, but very simple, mistake?


Edit: ignore the wild speculation. Krazen cleared this up below.

An urban mayor's endorsement caused a 50-point increase in the swing! Hm... Wink
