Election 2009: Who voted for whom and where

checkbox.jpgThe precinct-by-precinct breakdown of votes from the August primary is available; seattletimes.com (WSB partner) has published a look at the mayoral race (summary: the areas of West Seattle that didn’t vote for the WS-residing incumbent were split between Joe Mallahan and Mike McGinn). If you’d like to do some number-crunching of your own, here’s the link to a zip file with enough numbers (in plain text) to make your eyes swim. We pulled out the mayor’s home precinct in North Admiral just for curiosity’s sake — turnout passed 50 percent, and Mallahan came in second – this is the text block pulled/cut-and-pasted directly from the county file:

“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”Kwame Wyking Garrett”,0
“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”Registered Voters”,320
“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”Times Counted”,167
“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”Norman Zadok Sigler”,0
“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”Jan Drago”,10
“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”Write-in”,0
“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”Joe Mallahan”,37
“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”Greg Nickels”,75
“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”James Donaldson”,12
“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”Mike McGinn”,22
“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”Times Over Voted”,0
“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”Times Blank Voted”,6
“City of Seattle Mayor”,”SEA 34-1417″,8,34,7,”Elizabeth Campbell”,5

A completely nonscientific comparison to a precinct on the other side of West Seattle – ours, 34-1524 in Gatewood/Upper Fauntleroy, with 253 registered voters – it was Mallahan 38, McGinn 30, Nickels 27, Drago 13, Donaldson 10, Campbell 2, Sigler 1, Garrett 0, 7 blank ballots. If you want to find out your own precinct number so you can see how the vote total turned out, one way is to look up your “voter guide” (right side of this page). ADDED 10:38 AM: The Times has just added another breakout – county executive – see it here.

    I wonder if Russell Investments had announced the move from Tacoma to Seattle before the election if that would have changed the outcome…

Sorry, comment time is over.
