Official results: NEW YORK

[Skinner]

In order to help everyone keep track of the returns from each state, please post all updates in the ten OFFICIAL THREADS posted for this purpose. There will be one thread for each state. Please do not start a bunch of other results threads, as they will just make people confused.

INSTRUCTIONS

Please put the most important information from each update in the SUBJECT LINE of your post, so the returns are easy to follow. Include the number of precincts reporting, followed by the first three or four candidates in order. Kinda like this:

00% reporting - Candidate A 00%, Candidate B 00%, Candidate C 00%, Candidate D 00%


This thread is for results ONLY. Please avoid unnecessary discussion in this thread.

1. polls close at 9pm

so it's not too late to vote!

[Ediacara]

2. CNN map by county so far

[ithacan]

3. these maps are misleading

they indicate the "leader" for each county, not really the number of delegates. Each person who gets at least 15 percent of the vote in each congressional district gets a delegate, and it's really the delegate count that matters. But I suppose that's too complex for CNN reporters to understand...

[Ediacara]

4. I agree

but it's the only graphic representation I have been able to find so far.

[Renew Deal]

7. No, everyone is on except CMB. Very light turnout.

The poll inspectors were BORED.

[Habibi]

9. Here in Roc, too

I asked what the turnout was like in my Rochester (not suburb) precinct had been (at 5:00 PM) and they told me I was 13th. Of course, I don't know how many registered Dems are in this precinct, so that really doesn't mean anything.

[JackRiddler]

13. yes mine too

In the morning I filled out a paper (optiscan) ballot at the poll workers' table for about 20 mins (due to banter with them) and no one else came in to vote during that time.

The school covered three precincts in Queens. They expected no more than 100 people per precinct. Gave me a glimmer of hope Dean could get the 15 percent, but also a feeling of discouragement.

All the more so since the poll workers didn't know much about the vote-tampering issue (I brought it up of course), though one said she worried about what would happen AFTER the count left their hands at the higher level (obviously).

And then they collectively sighed and predicted a Bush victory, though one said perhaps the war would do him in after all. "They say he lied about it," she said. "Who knows."

Ye gods, should I have brought my PNAC primer?!

[SadEagle]

8. Yeah, I wish they would show more details...

And of course, too make things more confusing, my home county (Monroe) is in 4 CDs. woo-hoo!

I am gonna watch local results in the county BoE site, though

[ithacan]

11. yeah, Monroe Co. got screwed in redistricting...

one of Monroe's congressmen (Houghton), a moderate but very old Republican, has a district that stretches all the way to the Penn. border, and includes the area just west of here.

[WI_DEM]

5. is it true that Dean is the only man on the ballot

who had delegates slates in every county? if that is the case he may pick up some in NY.

[SadEagle]

6. Nope.

Edwards has them too (actually, I think Dean was one delegate short in some county, but Edwards got it fully filled); but they don't really matter, anyway, if I understand correctly

Rebuffing Bush Seems to Be Primary Goal of New York's Democratic Voters

By MICHAEL SLACKMAN

Published: March 2, 2004

New York's Democratic voters go to the polls today, with many less intent on casting a ballot for Senator John Kerry or Senator John Edwards than in lodging a first vote against President George W. Bush, political analysts, pollsters and ordinary voters said.

"You know what people are talking about," said Sarah Kovner, a longtime political activist who served eight years in the Clinton administration. "People have jumped to beating Bush. They have jumped to the next stage."

20. County breakdowns in NY are very interesting.

i.e. Sharpton doing well in Brooklyn and Bronx (no surprise there),
Kucinich getting 18% in Tomkins, and Dean getting 30% of vote in Clinton county (essentially 3-way tie for first, with pathetic turnout) [and also in Essex county.. makes sense, given proximity to VT.. Hmm, I want the CD map, I smell delegates.. well, looking at the map, unlikely, but will see, I guess :-()... Edwards is also doing better upstate, but that's 30-something %% at most.
