McCain actually won three Boston precincts
By adamg - Wed, 11/12/2008 - 8:21am.

Two precincts in South Boston and one in Dorchester, according to Matt O'Malley, who provides some interesting Boston numbers from this year's election. Overall, of course, Obama won big in Boston - O'Malley says one Roxbury precinct went for Obama by a 99.5 - 0.5 margin.

Bonus fun fact: There is a Harbor Islands precinct, with nine registered voters, none of whom bothered to vote.

Boston Votes: 2008 Presidential Election

...Here’s the headline: Barack Obama wins HUGE in the city of Boston. He swept every ward by staggering margins and, in fact, captured over 80% of the vote in 129 of the 254 precincts that make up our fair city. Those are numbers that would make a dictator (running in a third-would sham election) envious.

John McCain was able to win three precincts out of Boston’s 254. His best showing was in Ward 6 Precinct 9 (South Boston’s St. Matthew’s) where he beat Barack Obama by a vote of 530-467 (52.37% - 46.15%). McCain also took W16-P9 (Dot’s Adams Corner/Neponset) by a vote of 508-476 (50.35% - 47.18%) and W7-P2 (South Boston’s L Street Bath House) 560-544 (49.69% - 48.27%).

McCain earned the most votes in W3P1 (the North End) where 643 people filled in the oval next to his name. In that same precinct, Obama received 1,529 votes, or 69.28% of the vote.

Aside from W1P15 (the Harbor Islands) where, wait for it, NONE of the nine registered voters bothered to cast a ballot (thus giving the city its only tie: 0-0), McCain received the fewest votes in W12P9 (Roxbury’s Lewis School). At that location, where your humble blogger’s sister teaches, exactly three people cast their ballot for McCain and 603 voted for Obama.
