The Vote By the Numbers

By: Mr. Wilson on June 1, 2010
If you're a political numbers junkie, you will want to check out the Journal Star's analysis of the arena vote. There are few surprises: support tended to come from precincts with more money, which in turn corresponds with south, east, and northwest portions of the city. Young voters didn't show up to the polls -- a potential liability for supporters -- but older voters picked up the slack and voted yes anyway. I also have some thoughts about arena spokesman Dick Campbell's interpretation of the data, but work calls. I may come back to that later today if I have time.
