Today’s turnout is gonna screw up the data geeks

Like ME!!! Who would have thunk that the turnout numbers in today’s run-off election would be similar to the general election numbers. Freaking freaky weird. Very weird. I’ll write my assumptions about why this later…after I have some time to actually process and comprehend.

So here are some numbers:

Northside:

North Atlanta – 1088 voters at 5 pm; 986 at 5pm on Nov. 3

Brandon Elementary – 725 voters at 5 pm; 752 at 5 pm on Nov. 3


Intown:

Ormewood Presbyterian (Ormewood Park neighborhood) – 775 at 5 pm; 823 at 5 pm on Nov. 3

Parkside Elementary (Grant Park neighborhood) – 492 at 5pm; 483 at 5 pm on Nov. 3

Morningside Elementary (Morningside neighborhood) 510 at 5 pm; 944 at 5 pm on Nov. 3

Inman Park (Inman Park neighborhood) – 641 at 5 pm; 644 at 5 pm on Nov. 3

DeKalb:

Epworth (Candler Park) – 612 at 10 am; 888 at 5 pm on Nov. 3

Mary Lin (Inman Park) – 961 at 5 pm; 597 at 5 pm on Nov. 3

Burgess (East Atlanta) – 512 at 5 pm; 510 at 5 pm on Nov. 3

Southside:

West Manor – 774 at 5 pm; 640 at 5 pm on Nov. 3

Bunche Elementary (Niskey Lake) – 1053 at 5 pm; 1082 at 5 pm on Nov. 3

Beecher Hills – 584 at 5 pm; 588 at 5 pm on Nov. 3

Cascade – 583 at 5 pm; 475 at 5 pm on Nov. 3

    Overall 11,000 MORE voters turned out yesterday than on December 3rd…so it’s not just that so many came back, it’s that so many were engaged for the first time in the runoff only. That’s amazing.

    The turnout actually shouldn’t be a surprise. In off-year elections like this one, those who turn out for the general election (it was 24% in the mayoral race) are the most involved voters. Those are the same voters who are likely to show up for a runoff in any year.
