Knox election: Mapping the anger
By: R. Neal

WBIR has a feature story that analyzes several races, including some of the Black Wednesday losers, and maps their votes (or lack thereof). There are also maps for the presidential primary candidates. Pretty interesting.

There's a good map of the precincts on the KGIS website. I opened that in another window and by comparing the two maps was able to tell what was what.

IIRC, it's the 12th, which is approximately Morningside. That district has a tradition of funky voting. It went for Haslam, and for Greg Pinkston over Hultquist back in 2001.

I acknowledge that ownership does permit censorship - but I challenge the KnoxViews position of denying me the option of posting a new thread. The system only allows me to comment. I am a Knox county citizen and any opinion I have should be allowed to be expressed and debated.

KnoxViews management is scared of contrary views...
