Folley Precinct (134) goes Blue in '06

The Maricopa County Recorder has posted the election results by precinct. Blogger cpmaz has a good analysis of the precinct-by-precinct breakdown on the Hayworth-Mitchell race.

From the County Recorder's site, I've culled out the info for our precinct, Folley 134. For the key races and two of the most controversial Propositions, the numbers are below:

Registration and Turnout:
Edge Early Voting Turnout 0
Election Day Voting Turnout 470
Paper Early Voting Turnout 306
Total voters: 776

Attorney General:
DEM - GODDARD, TERRY 487
Write-In Candidate 1
REP - MONTGOMERY, BILL 254

US Representative (CD-5):
DEM - MITCHELL, HARRY 403
LBT - SEVERIN, WARREN 44
Write-In Candidate 2
REP - HAYWORTH, J.D. 302

Governor:
DEM - NAPOLITANO, JANET 523
LBT - HESS, BARRY J., II 26
Write-In Candidate 2
REP - MUNSIL, LEN 215

Secretary of State (LD-20):
DEM - TORRES, ISRAEL 302
LBT - HANCOCK, ERNEST 50
Write-In Candidate 1
REP - BREWER, JAN 378

State Representative (LD-20):
LBT - HEALD, JACK 226
Write-In Candidate 6
REP - MCCOMISH, JOHN 308
REP - ROBSON, BOB 300

State Senator (LD-20):
DEM - GRATEHOUSE, DONNA 366
Write-In Candidate 1
REP - HUPPENTHAL, JOHN 374

US Senator:
DEM - PEDERSON, JIM 374
LBT - MACK, RICHARD 44
Write-In Candidate 2
REP - KYL, JON 343

Prop 107 (Gay Marriage Ban Amendment):
NP - NO 434 (57.4%)
NP - YES 321 (42.5%)
(cf. state overall of 48.2% "Yes" and 51.8% "No")

Prop 202 (Raise the Minimum Wage):
NP - NO 237 (31.1%)
NP - YES 524 (68.9%)
(c.f. state overall of 65% "Yes" to 35% "No")

The take-home message from these numbers? With minor exceptions (e.g., the State Senate (LD20)* and Secretary of State races), our precinct went decidedly for the Democratic candidates in the November 06 elections.

And on the most controversial Propositions, our precinct was more progressive than the state averages.

*[Senator Huppenthal's own precinct, Tamarisk, shows the following results in the LD-20 Senate race:

DEM - GRATEHOUSE, DONNA 444 (39.2%)
Write-In Candidate 0
REP - HUPPENTHAL, JOHN 688 (60.8%)

Consider that the total election results for LD-20 were:
DEM - GRATEHOUSE, DONNA 25603 (46.9%)
Write-In Candidate 67
REP - HUPPENTHAL, JOHN 28868 (52.9%)

The overall differential in this close election was 3,265 votes, 244 of which came from Huppenthal's own precinct.]
