[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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?[/quote]

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.   [/quote]

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.[/quote]
