The truth behind the 2006 election numbers

Submitted by Dan Jacoby on 17 June 2008 - 3:19pm.

Azi's numbers are wrong (as someone else already pointed out); Diamondstone lost in Brooklyn to Marty Connor, by 58 votes.

Diamondstone won the 52nd AD by 1,384 votes. Looking quickly at district maps, it appears that slightly less than half the 33rd CD is in the 52nd AD; the rest is almost all in the 50th AD, in which Diamondstone got his clock cleaned (1740-295). The Kings County breakdown is available on the Board of Elections website.

It's going to be a tough race.
