Below are maps for November 2014 turnout, results of all the propositions, and charts of the propositions respective PVI correlations. A little commentary is provided, but most of the results are pretty straightforward. All of the proposition maps and PVI color patterns are set to the same scale.
As usual, turnout (around 53% overall) was dominated by Districts 7 and 8. There was some increased turnout in some of the eastern neighborhoods like Bernal and Potrero, but it is interesting to note that with most of the electoral activity on the eastern side of San Francisco this cycle (AD17, Supervisorial races), there doesn’t seem to be a big turnout advantage in the east side. This indicates that turnout patterns in San Francisco are extremely set year after year, and it takes extraordinary organizing efforts to elevate turnout in other parts of San Francisco.
