Looking into the 2007 primary numbers (so you don’t have to): Rivertowns “heart” Paul

The September 2007 primary district breakdown contains a fascinating set of information for any Greenburgh politics junky.  Feiner trounced Sandra Berger by 2:1 in 2005: a much more comfortable margin than the narrow (?)* victory over Greenawalt two years earlier.  

[*Unfortunately, I can only find a partial district breakdown for 2005, so we’ll have to stick to 2007 for now.]

Which districts showed their love for Paul by giving him his largest percentages in 2007?

Here are the districts that gave him more than 80% of the vote in 2005:

Dist 76: Tarrytown                 95%  (HIGHEST FEINER %: 53 – 3!)

Dist. 4 – Tarrytown                85%

Dist. 79: Irvington:                 83%

Dist. 23 – Hastings                 82%    (HIGHEST FEINER VOTE TOTAL: 139!)

Dist. 59: Hastings                   81%

Dist 55: Tarrytown                 80%

Dist. 19- Hastings                   80%

The surprise?  All seven districts where Feiner won 80% of the Democratic primary vote (out of 83 districts total) were… in the incorporated villages!  A cynic might note that those with the least at stake most fervently supported Feiner.

Where did Feiner do best in Unincorporated Greenburgh in 2007?

Dist. 48 –        79%     [Paul’s highest voting district with 138 votes]

[votes at Westchester Community College]

Dist. 66:          73%

[votes at Marina Regina High School]

Dist. 46 –        72%

[votes at Greenburgh Housing Authority, 9 Maple Street, White Plains] 

Where did Feiner do worst? Here are the districts he outright lost (in an election where he received 2/3 of the total vote) - in district # order:

Dist. 35: Edgemont                 26%

[votes at Seely Place School]

Dist. 11: - Irvington                39%

Dist. 33: Edgemont                 42%

[votes at Greenville Fire Dept.]

Dist. 69: Edgemont                 42%

[votes at Sacred Heart School]

Dist. 56: Hartsdale                  48%

[votes at Woodlands H.S.]

Overall, in 2005, Feiner received 73% of the incorporated villages vote (Feiner received 1790 out of 2701 total)  and 62% in unincorporated Greenburgh (Feiner received 2345 out of 3806 total).
