Daily Statistic ...

The full statewide precinct-by-precinct data is now available via FTP. One quick scan that bears some attention ...

  • In Harris County, those precincts where Democratic candidates for State Rep were fielded saw an average of 5% more votes than Kerry.

  • Roughly 75% of the precincts saw a net gain for the Dem at that level, 25% saw a dropoff.

  • If Joe Nixon's 133rd State Rep district saw a 56%-44% Bush win in 2004 while the district is increasingly gaining Democratic-leaning voters, what does one think might happen when there's an actual, living, breathing candidate there in 2006?

Oh, and whenever time permits, I'm doing a red-blue map of Southeast Texas ... maybe more of the state, but we'll see. Any requests for detailed maps, put em in the comments or email me.

I can't seem to connect, maybe its a Mac thing...is there any way that you could find the kindness in your heart to find the information for Guadalupe County and e-mail it to me. I would like to see if my parents and I actually are the only Democrats in our precinct.
