Mapping the Presidential Results: Travis, Hays, Williamson
As expected, here's the Greater Travis County region: Hays, Travis, & Williamson counties. Easily Obama's best territory, which made the map-making very easy. Still, you can see a bit of the Obama fade in the rural areas on the north side of Williamson. It's worth pointing out that Obama won several of the Hill Country counties around these three. Ultimately, it'll be an interesting view to see what the broader map looks like in that context. But it'll have to wait till I have a statewide canvass.

Up next: the counties surrounding Harris County: Fort Bend, Brazoria, Galveston, Montgomery, plus Brazos and Jefferson. At some point thereafter, all I have to do is work in some time to do McLennan and Smith counties and I'm done with the canvass reports I've got on hand. Statewide canvasses tend to take some time before they're available online. Ultimately, that'll happen. But before then, I'll probably get to work on a Willett-Moody statewide map from 2006. Tell me I don't know how to have fun!



Cool stuff!
Yeah, the eastern side of the Hill Country is the (mostly wealthier) parts of the Austin burbs.
Of course, some of the Senate districts the votes go to are awfully tortured - mine is part in San Antonio, and part South Austin.
