I've been studying the results of the 2008 general election in King County. Accumulating the precinct-level data into Legislative Districts, the table below displays turnout and presidential vote results. The LDs are displayed in descending order of registered voters, with the four partially-King LDs (marked with asterisks) following the 13 that are entirely within the county. The highest value in each column is italicized.

King County turnout and presidential results, by LD:

Oh Guru! Is there a URL to King Co

and State data by precinct?

I know that by clicking through the various websites, there is a 99% probability that in 30 minutes I will:

find what I want OR more than I could have asked for, OR
be pulling my hair out in frustration cuz I haven't figured the definitions of the jargon, words, and b.s. the people who set up the web sites used, OR
be clicking through who knows what.

given that I get

door #1 20% of the time,
door #2 40% of the time,
door #3 40% of the time

thanks for your knowledge, indulgence, patience, guidance, beneficance ...

N, another factor... by Particle Man, 02/24/2009 09:13:16 AM PST (none / 0)

yes, it certainly can be examined by N in Seattle, 02/24/2009 09:23:26 AM PST (none / 0)

another factor by Particle Man, 02/24/2009 11:08:00 AM PST (none / 0)

The most striking fact I take from those stats

is:
The 47th district voted only 55.4% for Obama and yet has elected democrats to all three of its legislative seats, while over in the 5th, Obama got 57.2% and has not elected a D since Kathleen Drew back in 1992.
