Apologies. I had the wrong ward selected. The margin in Pinto's Ward 2 was actually a still embarrassing 46-38

yellow map: areas where McDuffie did better.
blue map: wealthy R-1-A and R-1-B zones that have only allowed detached housing for ~100 years
It looks like the Free DC slate is ahead in the delegate contests. Citywide they're ahead 14-2, and I haven't gone through individual ward races yet
The precinct map is pretty funny. Pinto got Georgetown, the Palisades, and absolutely nothing else. Her constituency appears to have been voters making at least $500K/yr
This is so great to see. Janeese Lewis George won East of the River! She's the first progressive candidate to do that in a while now.
If you don't know DC geography, the farther west you go, the whiter and richer it gets.
DC results are (finally) in. Robert White leads Brooke Pinto 63-22 for Congressional Delegate. Janeese Lewis George leads Kenyan McDuffie 53-37 for Mayor
Progressive Elissa Silverman is at 64%. Looks like she just reclaimed her old seat from McDuffie
Brooke Pinto lost her own ward 46-31. Love that for her.
To explain why the mayor map is so great: here's a party delegate contest that shows that a narrow progressive win usually looks like: the establishment gets rich, poor, and suburban-lite neighborhoods, progressives get the rest. But Janeese won the poor neighborhoods tonight.
Overall a strong first result for progressive/the left. DSA-endorsed Aparna Raj is at 47% - nearly out of RCV territory - and Oye Owolewa leads a very fractured field with 34%
