Looks like he's stopped a gravy train or two in his time.

There's your gravy train joke of the night!

Well, to be fair, two of them are MBAs...

The electoral data by individual poll has been released: http://www.calgary.ca/docgallery/bu/cityclerks/election/2010/2010_results_by_voting_station.pdf

With this data, I was able to finish the maps that I started to do on election night:

Not very many big surprises but it is still interesting. It looks like the biggest factors towards a Nenshi poll were proximity towards the inner city and wealth.

Looking at the aldermanic races, I am actually kind of shocked by how close Mount Royal was between Mar and Pashak. Either Pashak had an insanely successful GOTV drive in Lower Mount Royal or else Upper Mount Royal is far less monolithic than I would have assumed. The results of the other polls, with Pashak taking Bankview, Mission/East Beltline, and doing decently near MRU, are less surprising.

What software did you use to integrate the data, I can't imagine it was manual!

Yeah, get in there! My old polling station in Rundle voted for Nenshi, they did me proud!

Our polling station (and Barb Higgins) 802 was all Nenshi baby!

Mrs. Bigtime made a comment the other day about how odd it is that we have never seen Higgins around, since apparently she lives in our polling station area.

Looks like I win! Ward 9 was the only ward to have polling station wins for all three candidates from Srperry's maps.

At least my polling station 902 went Nenshi!

your google maps rule,

looks like I didn't need to vote afterall


Nenshi 1458
Higgins 342
McIver 273

that's my polling station, which is basically just Sunnyside.

I find it strange maybe that Ward 1 went reallly strongly for Nenshi, but Chris Harper didn't do so well...

Well, hopefully he runs again in 2013

It actually makes a lot of sense, if you look at it apart from the ideological perspective. Highest voter turnout in recent memory means a lot of marginal voters that didn't vote for Jennifer Banks or Hodges last time turned out. Harper held Banks' number and the split on new voters was just too hard towards the incumbent Alderman.

I rising tide does not lift all boats in municipal politics.

Although I voted at City Hall I see where I would normally vote had Nenshi beating Higgins and McIver combined. (Ward 7)

If the City had provided a fricking Excel spreadsheet instead of a PDF, it would have been easier. I entered the top 3 on to a Notepad sheet and then copy and pasted the info to each poll. So, yes it was manual.

Update: Got a mention of the maps on Jason Markusoff's blog in the Herald. Link

The map:


MayoralResults by srp775, on Flickr

Nenshi: Purple
Higgins: Light Blue
McIvor: Red

Google is being bitchy, so merging the maps into one Google Map isn't working right now.

Cool. That McIver win in the NW was by 8 votes, so pretty insignificant.

Someone care to explain/speculate why the support was so geographically concentrated?

It's not even like Toronto where there were clear suburban-urban splits.

Is McIvor from the Southeast? And why is Calgary East so inclined to vote for a former CTV anchor? Also, isn't Nenshi from the Northeast? If so, they didn't exactly vote for him in overwhelming numbers there.

Just word of mouth but I had heard that the Punjabi community was very pro-Higgins. So that could account for the east going to her.
