Precinct-by-Precinct Election Results for Jamaica Plain

See how your precinct voted in Tuesday's general election.

The election results from JP held few surprises: The neighborhood went for all the incumbent Democrats.

There were three ballot questions this election. And JP bucked the state trend by voting in favor of physician-assisted suicide. We also voted in favor of medical marijuana by a higher margin than the rest of Massachusetts.

Here's some of what jumped out at me examining the precinct-by-precinct numbers.

  • Republican Mitt Romney did best in Moss Hill (Ward 19, Precinct 2), getting 377 votes to President Barack Obama's 877.
  • The same was true in the U.S. Senate race: Republican Senator Scott Brown did best in Moss Hill. He took 437 votes to victor Elizabeth Warren's 842.
  • There's been some grousing in JP about us getting split between the 7th and 8th Congressional District. But that didn't stop up from voting heavily in favor of both Democratic incumbents: Congressmen Mike Capuano in the 7th and Stephen Lynch in the 8th.
  • The assisted suicide ballot question provoked an interesting dynamic: Four JP precincts went against the overall JP trend and rejected "death by dignity." They were the Mission Hill precincts of Ward 10, Precincts 6 and 7 and the nearby Egleston Square precincts of Ward 11-4 and 5. There is a cluster of nursing homes in 10-6 and 10-7, whose residents may have voted against the measure. Why Egleston Square would vote against, I'm not sure.
