It\u2019s time to dig deeper on geography.\u00a0 Below are election day results for every state legislative district overlapping with Congressional District 8.<\/p>\n

\"CD8<\/p>\n

Of the twelve legislative districts sharing precincts with CD8, David Trone won nine of them.\u00a0 Predictably, he won the five legislative districts in Carroll and Frederick Counties, and he got majorities in three of them.\u00a0 He also won the precincts in Districts 14, 15, 17 and 19.\u00a0 Senator Jamie Raskin won the precincts in Districts 16, 18 and 20, but those three accounted for 58% of election day votes.\u00a0 No other candidates won any legislative districts.<\/p>\n

A note about District 20, Raskin\u2019s home base.\u00a0 He received 52% of its votes, which was a lower percentage than Trone received in three northern legislative districts.\u00a0 Seventy-four percent of Raskin\u2019s election day votes came from outside<\/em> District 20, meaning that he succeeded in diversifying his geographic base \u2013 primarily to other precincts inside the Beltway.\u00a0 Raskin received more votes from District 16 than from District 20.<\/p>\n

Here are the same results for county districts.<\/p>\n

\"CD8<\/p>\n

Again, Trone won every county district in Carroll and Frederick.\u00a0 But he also won the precincts in Montgomery County Council Districts 2, 3 and 4.\u00a0 Raskin won the precincts in Montgomery County Council Districts 1 and 5, and those two districts accounted for 54% of election day votes.<\/p>\n

Here are the results for towns in Carroll and Frederick Counties.<\/p>\n

\"CD8<\/p>\n

Trone got a clean sweep here with one exception: in one precinct in Knoxville (Frederick County), one vote was cast and it went to Delegate Ana Sol Gutierrez.\u00a0 In every other case, the rank order was Trone first, Matthews second and Raskin third.<\/p>\n

Now here are the results for towns in Montgomery County.\u00a0 Wheaton is defined as Zip Code 20902.\u00a0 Glenmont\/Norbeck is defined as Zip Code 20906 except for Leisure World, which is separated out.\u00a0 Silver Spring (East County) is defined as Silver Spring precincts not in Zip Codes 20902 or 20906 and located outside the Beltway.<\/p>\n

\"CD8<\/a><\/p>\n

These results are much more diverse.\u00a0 Of the fifteen towns in Montgomery, Raskin won eight: Bethesda, Cabin John, Chevy Chase, Kensington, Silver Spring (East County), Silver Spring (Inside the Beltway), Takoma Park and Wheaton.\u00a0 No other candidate won a town inside the Beltway.\u00a0 Kathleen Matthews won Leisure World and Derwood, which had just one precinct.\u00a0 Trone won Damascus, Gaithersburg, Glenmont\/Norbeck, Potomac and Rockville.\u00a0 Delegate Ana Sol Gutierrez finished second in Glenmont\/Norbeck, an area with a substantial Latino population.\u00a0 The local data in Montgomery supports the narrative that Raskin\u2019s victory was supported primarily by Inside the Beltway voters, and he rounded up enough votes from other places to prevent either Trone or Matthews from breaking through.<\/p>\n

We will look at precinct demographics in Part Three.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
