The mayor won better than 2 to 1.

she always won every vote ! South of 38th St and around the Capitol Ave.,/ Illinois Ave. area.
Every single vote.

And in 1972 the only precinct in Indiana to vote for George McGovern was mine in the 46th St., and College Ave area.

So Indy has some very blue areas.
