Arizona District-by-District Election Results

xxx

This allows you to visualize the election results in various districts. You can switch between LDs, CDs, and counties. That is, state legislative districts, US congressional districts, and counties.

In all cases, the color code corresponds to the results from a November 2022 statewide race. You can switch between the governor race and the US senate race. This allows you to compare one district to another without worrying about district-to-district variations in candidate quality. OTOH this doesn't solve all the world's problems, since the overall average color of the state remains sensitive to the quality of the statewide candidates. I reckon the state would be several points redder if the Rs had fielded stronger candidates.

Operating instructions:

• To zoom in/out:
  Double-click to zoom in; shift-double-click to zoom out.
  Or click the [+] and [−] buttons near the upper-left corner.
  Or use the keyboard + and − keys (provided the map has the keyboard focus). The = key is a synonym for +.
  Or use "7z" to set the zoom level to 7 (the default). Or use "o" to return to the original view.
• To focus on a particular district:
  Use "3x" to examine district 3. Or ctrl-click on a particular district.
• To navigate north/south/east/west.
  Drag with the mouse.
  Or use the keyboard arrow keys (provided the map has the keyboard focus).
• To show a box with some quantitative information in the upper-left corner:
  Click on a district.
  Shift-click or use the . key to dismiss the information box. Deleg: refers to the incumbent delegation: Senate/House/House.
  Sen: refers the 2022 race for US senator: D - R = margin.
  Gov: refers the 2022 race for governor: D - R = margin.
  
• The map has multiple layers. You can type:
  l ... to see LD boundaries
  c ... to see CD boundaries
  e ... to see county boundaries. Mnemonic: E for Earldom. (In England, a count is called an earl. A countess remains a countess.)
• For any given set of boundaries:
  s ... to map the results of the 2022 race for US senator.
  g ... to map the results of the 2022 race for governor.
  d ... to map the newly-elected delegation's party affiliation. Not relevant for counties.

  Switching back and forth between layers is particularly informative. Among other things, you can see which candidates overperformed and which ones underperformed.

Notes:

1. To repeat: A major selling point is that we show the district-by-district margins for statewide offices. This facilitates comparing one district against another. It's easy to find the district-by-district results for district-wide races, but for statewide races not so much. The data shown here is based on dredging through the precinct-by-precinct data.
2. Another selling point is the visualization. Rather than staring at a jumble of numbers, you can directly visualize where the competitive districts are.
3. Feel free to share this map page however you like.
4. I can provide the .kml files if you want to play with them on your own computer, using google-earth (or fancier GIS tools if you've got 'em) ... but beware they are optimized for OpenLayers web GIS, not for google-earth.
5. Also, I can provide the perl programs that do the data analysis, if you want to modify or extend them.
