These maps of the race for county commissioner are based on the unofficial results from the Orange County Board of Elections (May 2, 2006).

Individual candidate maps are available here. They include charts that show the five best and five worst precincts for each candidate. I'm sure someone will have something insightful to say about all of this. Direct links are as follows:

The Jacobs map is impressive in that it shows what a good job Barry does balancing special interests.
Very nice work.
Yes, I was also impressed how strong Barry ran in all areas. He won 11 of the 12 precincts here in northern Orange.
It is always heartening to me when superior public service is noted by the voters.
This is really impressive / interesting Damon. Makes me want to bone-up on GIS skills.
Is it saying, "this candidate got this % of the vote in this precinct"? Meaning if I add up all the percentages for all the candidates in one pricinct I will get 100%?
Thanks
Wow! Fantastic job Damon. Could you give us the technical background on how you made the maps? I'd like to do a similar analysis with a variety of inputs.
