Kitzhaber defeated Richardson by an wide margin in every part of the city. The margin in south Eugene (Wards 1, 2, and 3) is especially pronounced. The margins in wards 5 and 6 were comparatively close.

METHODOLOGY: The graphic covers the Oregon statewide result, the overall Eugene result, and then the city’s eight wards.

Merkley defeated Wehby by an overwhelming margin in every part of the city. The margin in south Eugene (Wards 1, 2, and 3) is especially pronounced.

This was the one measure (see previous posts) where the entire county voted practically in unison. It was also the one measure where both major political parties joined in opposition.

SOURCE: Oregon Secretary of State; Lane County Elections.

METHODOLOGY: The graphic covers the Oregon statewide result, the Lane countywide result and the overall results for Eugene, Springfield, and Rural Lane County (the portion of the county that is neither in Eugene nor in Springfield). Next, are the five county commissioner districts. Finally, the overall Eugene result is repeated, for ease of comparison, followed by the city’s eight wards.

The pattern is pretty clear. South Eugene (the county commission district and wards 1, 2, and 3) voted one way and the rest of the county voted another.

What is interesting is how badly creamed the ACLU was in south Eugene.

Eugene’s politics are famously divided. Below is a map of the precinct results from the 2008 Mayoral Election.

The map colors come from the logo colors for the two campaigns: Piercy is blue and Torrey is green.

For a more detailed look, please see the 2008 Eugene Mayoral Results by Precinct.

By way of comparison, here is an earlier post the precinct-by-precinct returns for San Jose: http://lindholmcompanyblog.com/?p=692. It is not directly comparable because the map is scaled rather than dichotomous and Reed defeated Chavez by a wide margin. However, very few Eugene precincts were not landslide victories, so scaling would have little impact.
