Some ward numbers
By adamg on Wed, 09/23/2009 - 1:54pm
Map showing which wards Menino and Flaherty led in and whether they got more or less than 50% of the vote there. Yoon and McCrea did not win any wards. NOTE: Although precinct lines are shown, the map is based on wardwide numbers.
Chris Lovett posts some numbers: Flaherty mostly carried South Boston, along with some precincts in Charlestown and Dorchester. Yoon carried nine precincts, in the West End, Fenway, Back Bay, JP and Allston, but as Lovett also notes, Back Bay and Allston had some of the lowest overall turnouts in the city.
Matt O'Malley takes the ward view, notes Menino took 19 or the city's 22 wards.

Allston turnout
"Areas with the lowest turnout percentages were Ward 21 (Allston), with 11.6%"
Well, *that's* depressing. No wonder the city doesn't give a crap about us.
Funny how that works, no?

Seriously
If the city needs money, I offer us as the sacrificial lamb to be sold to Brookline first.
I'll cope. Honest.
Wow, 19/22 of the wards.
Wow, 19/22 of the wards. That is impressive I hadn't heard that figure until this post. That does show city-wide strength.
Precinct Numbers
The Herald got them from somewhere:

Precincts
The Herald has this listing by precinct.
Oh, cool
I don't think I'll be going back and coloring in each precinct on my map, though :-).
Allston/Brighton city-council numbers
Michael Pahre runs them.
Yoon won more than 9 precincts
"Yoon carried nine precincts, in the West End, Fenway, Back Bay, JP and Allston, but as Lovett also notes, Back Bay and Allston had some of the lowest overall turnouts in the city."
Are you sure? According to my scanning the list by eye, I came up with 30 precincts won by Yoon and another 8 that were *almost* won.
Not that that changes the outcome any :(
