Thanks to IndependentPoliticalReport for this link to New York city election returns that include all candidates who were on the ballot. The link is from New York city’s Channel One TV station.

The Working Families Party ran its own nominees for City Council in some districts, and in both the 34th district and the 36 district, far exceeded the Republican total. In the 34th district the vote was: Democratic 59.87%, Working Families 34.56%, Republican 5.58%. In the 36th district, it was: Democratic 63.70%, Working Families 32.34%, Republican 3.96%.

In the 49th district, the results were: Democratic 57.25%, Conservative 26.26%, Republican 16.49%.

In the Mayor’s race, as IndependentPoliticalReport posted last night, the vote was: Michael Bloomberg 50.61% (which included 37.64% on the Republican line and 12.98% on the Independence Party line), William Thompson 46.04% (which included 43.57% on the Democratic line and 2.47% on the Working Families line), Stephen Christopher (Conservative) 1.66%, Billy Talen (Green) .81%, Francisca Villar (Party for Socialism and Liberation) .32%, Jimmy McMillan (Rent is Too Damn High) .24%, Joseph Dobrian (Libertarian) .18%, Dan Fein (Socialist Workers Party) .14%. It will be interesting to see how many of Bloomberg’s votes were cast on the Independence Party line; and it also be interesting to see how many of Thompson’s votes were cast on the Working Families line. Those figures aren’t available yet because the news organizations don’t collect them.

In 2005, the percentages had been: Michael Bloomberg (Republican, Independence) 58.40%, Fernando Ferrer (Democratic) 39.02%, Thomas Ognibene (Conservative) 1.13%, Anthony Gronowicz (Green) .64%, Jimmy McMillan (Rent is Too Damn High) .32%, Audrey Silk (Libertarian) .22%, Martin Koppel (Socialist Workers Party) .17%, Seth Blum (Education) .09%.

Jefferson County, New York, which is on Lake Ontario, has been represented by a Republican in the U.S. House starting with the 1854 election, the year the Republican Party was born. However, as a result of the November 3, 2009, special election in the 23rd district, Jefferson County will be represented by Bill Owens, the Democratic nominee who appears to have won.

Jefferson County’s largest city is Watertown. In the 1852 election, Jefferson County had been its own U.S. House district, and had elected an Independent to the U.S. House. Jefferson County hadn’t been represented by a Democrat in the U.S. House since a Democrat, Willard Ives, won the 1850 election in that part of New York.

Ironically, the new Congressman in the 23rd district, Owens, is a registered independent, even though he was the Democratic nominee.

On November 3, Michigan held a special election to fill the vacant State Senate seat, 19th district. The results: Mike Nofs (Republican) 60.75%, Martin Griffin (Democratic) 34.58%, Steven Mobley (independent) 3.45%, Greg Merle (Libertarian) 1.22%.

Last time this seat elected someone, in 2006, the results had been: Democratic 61.21%, Republican 38.79%.
