In reply to the discussion: This is so disturbing! #Ferguson: Black vs White [View all]alcibiades_mystery

I'm sure they have precinct level, too, though it wouldn't be as relevant. The neighborhood map view is really telling in this case. In high "minority" areas De Blasio was taking sometimes 96% of the vote and higher. My favorite is Laurelton, Queens, where De Blasio got 5,137 votes, and Lhota received 53 votes.
But the map supports my contentions, if one knows the neighborhood compositions. Glendale to Lhota, Middle Village, Maspeth. Then De Blasio with 96, 97, 98% of the vote in Canarsie, East New York, Brownsville.
Hell, even in Manhattan, Lhota won the Upper East Side and Yorkville. I mean, come on. It couldn't be more clear.
