Numbers: Morrison Crunches Galindo

Numbers: Morrison Crunches Galindo

Not much to report in analyzing the numbers of the Place 4 run-off, except the obvious: Morrison's victory was dominating. She took a 60% lead in early voting and expanded it to almost 70% on election day and 65% overall.

Looking at the most valuable boxes in Austin (the top 20 vote-producers at right), one can see that Galindo prevailed in only one (Precinct 262 in the Northwest), and barely at that. Morrison, on the other hand, got more than 80% in five of them and almost that much in the biggest precinct in Austin, 342 in the Zilker neighborhood.

Of the 207 precincts in the race, Galindo only won 34 outright, and of those, only 11 brought out more than 100 voters. His stronghold was box 334 (far Northwest), where he took 68% of the 220 votes.
