Who Voted for Whom?

A nifty interactive map created by the New York Times allows users to see what percent of votes from each election district – each only a few blocks wide – went to which candidate.

According to the map, the Crown Heights Jewish community was a tiny island of support for Republican Joe Lhota amid a sea of Democrat Bill de Blasio voters for miles all around.

The Jewish neighborhoods of Flatbush and Midwood voted overwhelmingly for Lhota, while Williamsburg threw its support behind de Blasio. Borough Park was divided between the two candidates.

Among other neighborhoods that supported Lhota were: Manhattan’s Upper East Side; the borough of Staten Island; Forest Hills and other parts of northeast Queens; and a few neighborhoods in south Brooklyn, including: Brighton Beach, Mill Basin and Bay Ridge.

The interactive map can be viewed here.

      Please remove the above comment. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but you are not obligated to provide a platform for such racist and stupid comments.

      Racists are the scum of the earth, but a Jewish racist takes the cake on scum mixed with stupid.

      Parchas Shlach 5740 the Rebbe calls Abraham Lincoln part of Chasidei Umos Ha’Olem for freeing the slaves and then continues and quotes the Rambam who says the Chasidei Umos Ha’Olem have Olem Haba like the Yidden.

    • #1 has a point

      African Americans generally vote in overwhelming numbers on the Democrat ticket; check the statistics. Most of them tend to agree with Democratic policies such as being dependent on government. It’s not exactly a race issue. So I’m not sure you can call someone racist for stating a well known fact.

  • To #1

    what makes you think Ch (whites) people did not vote for de blasio? we live off the government just like the afican-american!

  • agree with # 1

    What about first time voters who are 18 and older. Are they now responsible too?

      That’s nice. You should be a shame of the folks in Williamsburg and Borough Park. But you don’t.

  • Nobody

    It is obscene that the voting districts are so subdivided that the politicians know exactly who votes for who.
