The Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission released the first round of district-by-district voter abstracts today, giving us an interesting (yet still incomplete) look at who put Mike McGinn and Joe Mallahan into the general election.
McGinn, Mallahan, and Greg Nickels each led two of Seattle's six legislative districts on election night, but the big difference is that the two taken by McGinn had more voters. Worth noting is that Mallahan came in third in half the districts, and McGinn in two, while Nickels only trailed both candidates in a single district. The problem? He got his butt kicked there in the 36th, roughly a thousand votes behind McGinn and Mallahan.
It also breaks down by area. Nickels did well in the southern 11th and 37th, McGinn in the central 36th and 43rd, and Mallahan in the northern 46th and western 34th.
