Here is my summary of the Boston 2009 General election results. I include analysis of the turnout, Mayor’s race, and at-large City Council race. I summarize the results from a neighborhood perspective, not by wards, since almost everyone can identify with a neighborhood name more easily than a ward number.
Here’s a link to the turnout counts and rates by neighborhood:

Here is my first take on the results of the turnout and Mayor’s race in the Boston 2009 general election. I summarize the results from a neighborhood perspective, not by wards, since almost everyone can identify with a neighborhood name more easily than a ward number.
I’ll have a city council at-large results summary tomorrow.

Detailed precinct results are usually available sometime Wednesday morning after Election Day. Once I receive them, I’ll start my analysis. The Boston Election Department does not release the data in spreadsheet format, so it requires lots of data entry (254 precincts times the number of candidates).
I hope to have something ready on Wednesday afternoon and full results by sometime on Thursday. In the meantime, the unofficial results are available from the city at this link:

Anyone who has early precinct results can speed up the process by emailing them to me at:
