Extremely detailed map of 2024 election: who did you and your neighbors vote for?

[Anonymous]

All votes are anonymous. How can the New York Times drill down to the neighborhood level? I assume they could get results from different polling locations, but people are free to vote at locations that are far from their neighborhoods.

I know Montgomery County democrat. What I wasn’t expecting was for so many of these precincts to have gone pink or red by such major percentage points. That was unexpected in such a blue area.

I think in most jurisdictions this would be a lot of work. Mail-in ballots are linked to precincts.

Vote totals are reported by precinct. Those are the precinct numbers - the votes of people registered in the precinct, including those who voted absentee or early at a different location.

Pardon my ignorance here, but in Montgomery County voters were allowed to choose from several different polling locations in the county if they wanted to vote early. Were these all in the same precinct? If not, how do they know who you voted for?

I'm not reading any information that specifically says who voted for who. This map seems to indicate with in a given precinct the sum total for each candidate. I have seen some incredibly small precincts with maybe six voters. In those cases, it's pretty easy to figure out how an individual voted if the entire precinct voted for only one candidate. But those precincts seem to be very rare.

This is so interesting. My county went +14 for Harris, my neighborhood went +0.6 for Harris, and that totally surprises me. I feel like I'm surrounded by Trumpers, but it seems to be only by half. Encouraging. I'm in Florida.

So they’re just adding up the votes cast at the various polling locations within the precinct I assume? If so, that’s probably accurate for the most part since most people will vote at the location closest to their house. But if you live in a red area and vote for Trump at a location in a blue area on your lunch break, for instance, then that area would appear more red (or pink) on this map than it actually is.

Current location went +72 Harris. My hometown in the NYC suburbs went +14 Harris. They went red for Bush so I was honestly a bit surprised they didn't go red this time.

Not that poster but I wonder this too. I always vote in the same location which is not at all in my neighborhood or even my town: it's in a super blue area 15 mins away. I love the poll workers there and it's a larger, more spacious library than my local one which has visible MAGA outside. So does my vote count as being there, or in my town?

If your vote is truly anonymous, and I assume it is, then there’s no way they could trace your vote for Harris or Trump back to the neighborhood where you actually live. They would know that you voted, and where you voted, but that’s it (I assume).

You all don't seem to understand that as a voter, you are registered to a precinct. Some precincts are large, like a county size, some are small, like a neighborhood. If you are registered to precinct Sesame Street 1 but vote early at the Mr. Rogers neighborhood library which happens to be in Disney 3 precinct, your vote is counting toward the totals for Sesame Street 1, the precinct you are registered to.

The people who are saying they can see how their specific neighborhood or HOA voted can do this because their precincts are that small and specific. Or perhaps small isn't really the correct word because it means their neighborhood is dense, there are enough voters there to make their own precinct.

Surprised my area was only +30 for Harris. Nobody said they were supporting Trump, but I didn't see any Harris signs either.

You are registered to your home address. That address is in a specific precinct. When you show up to vote somewhere else, they give you a ballot for your precinct. Local offices may be different, you get the ballot for your address, not for the building where you are voting. When the votes are counted they are totaled by precinct. Your ballot doesn’t have your name or any personal identifier but it does have your precinct.

All the mid-Atlantic beach destinations are Trumpers. Nauseating. Especially when the next flood comes.
