The
New York Times gets it! All the news that fit to map! In their coverage of the New York City mayoral and city council elections this evening, the
New York Times displayed a
precinct-level map of the voting on their home page. Now, you wouldn't show the results at any other geographic level, right? It's important for two reasons: one, every reader knows in which precint they voted and two, now you can begin to discern some trends in voting which can then be tied to demographic information and hence a better understanding of the political preferences of the voters.
