It would be of interest to know the % of registered Dem's, GOP's and Ind's who voted. Is that information available?

Peter Carpenter is a registered user.

What is dramatically different in this election is the % of voters that voted either at the polls or turned in their mail ballots on on near election day. There was a big increase in these categories of votes in this election.

So remember, "it is not over until the Fat Lady Sings."

do you want it by cd, or the county?

For example, Anna's district - voting age pop demo
White Black Hisp. Asian Native Other
61.1% 2.0% 15.0% 19.2% 0.2% 2.5%

2014 Vote
Total Dem Rep Other
196,386 133,060 63,326 0

Looking for the county info? Go to the county site. They'll have it up soon, if not already.
