I was playing around with the Dave's redistricting app and was able to create two swing districts won by McCain in New York City. One almost entirely in Brooklyn, and another Brooklyn/Staten Island district. That's about 1.6 million people. That's despite Wall Street influence.

I'm surprised at the difference in the GOP vote among whites in Brooklyn. It's much higher than most big cities in the Northeast, and even much of the Midwest. I think the white vote in Queens and Long Island also may be close to 50/50. That's a lot higher than the Philly Suburbs (Chester and Bucks County less so), Manhattan, Montgomery County Maryland, and Northern Virginia.

How did you get 2008 election info for each precinct NY in Dave’s App? I just get population and race percentage.
