Some maps of last night’s mayoral race
Hi all. Whipped up some maps this morning to get a better sense of the dynamics in the mayor’s race last night and get a better sense of the upcoming runoff. Thought I’d share them here for the good of the order.
Map one shows the percent of each precinct’s vote won by each candidate. Map two shows the percent of each candidate’s total vote that was in each precinct. Map three shows who won a plurality or majority in each precinct as well as the margin by which they won over the next best candidate.
Overall, a pretty strong showing for Denson, with him winning most precincts and absolutely dominating in Normaltown, Downtown, and several East Side precincts. Gantt did very well in the North side and Inner East Side, while Dexter put up his best numbers around Five Points, the far West, and several East Side areas. Mara did shockingly well in Winterville, with almost a quarter of her vote coming out of there and another solid bit from Bogart/the far west.
Again, these were pretty ad hoc, so apologies that they are a touch unpolished. Hope they help folks better understand last night’s race!
