4. that's just Manhattan

New York City has 5 separate counties, each of which handles its own elections, I suspect.

7. thats only manhattan which only has about 1.8 mil, but thats still less than half

[BrklynLiberal]

9. 13% is A lot less than half.

[surrealAmerican]

16. Is that total population, or eligible voters?

[nsd]

18. ~1.8 million is the total population of Manhattan ...

But if you exclude children and non-citizens (of which there are many, thanks to the immigrant population), the pool of eligible voters probably drops to well under 1 million.

2. I think McCain's votes are all from Staten Island.

[BrklynLiberal]

10. Bet you are right..

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. One of the votes of the13.8 % is that miserable PUMA b@#$% Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild
