South Philly Almost Went for Mitt Romney


Not everyone in Philadelphia voted for Barack Obama. Here, a ward-by-ward breakdown of how the city voted. Click on the column headers to sort. Note that the percentages do not total 100 due to votes cast for the Libertarian and Green candidates.

You’ll see that Mitt Romney fared quite well in the 26th Ward (parts of South Philly), 63rd Ward (Fox Chase), and 58th Ward (the Bustleton and Somerton sections of the city). But in some wards — eleven of them, to be exact — Romney’s vote count didn’t even make it out of the double digits. For an in-depth ward map of Philadelphia, consult the Committee of Seventy.
