Can you guess how these neighborhoods voted?

I got 10/15 correct. Nate Silver did worse than me per his Twitter. It is a pretty cool quiz.

Do you think you can tell how a neighborhood voted just by looking around?

Damn, that was interesting and I did horrible. I got 4/15. Of course, their small sample doesn’t mean it’s reflective of the entire county and some of it was mindgames because after all, it’s the NYT but interesting nonetheless.

What are some of the signs you looked for? I tried to look for yard signs (saw more blue ADT signs than anything else), American flags, type of vehicles, and of course if the neighborhood looked urban/suburban/rural. The Brooklyn one was the easiest for me because I recognized the yellow on black NY license plates. But it certainly wasn't as easy as I expected it to be.

I voted Trump in all of them because I refuse to vote for creepy Joe in anything, even an online quiz.

Tbh, I didn’t give it the time it deserved. I just kind of blew through it and my score isn’t even worth evaluating for the piss poor effort I put into it.

12/15. Of course, looked at suburban v rural. How many cars at the residence, how kept or up to date the area looked, and type of housing.

My result...


You were 12 for 15 (80%), better than about 94 percent of Times readers.

I did not do as well. I think it is because Trump actually won by a lot in more areas than NY Times gave him credit for.
