May
2002
You can view or download maps prepared
by the Chinese American Voters Education Committee showing precinct results for Prop A along with Props C
and F and state Prop 45.
Professor Rich DeLeon of San Francisco State
University analyzed precinct results for San Francisco's Proposition A
based on ethnicity and political ideology measured by the Progressive
Voting Index (PVI). The
PVI is derived
from votes on 12 local initiatives from November 2000 to
November 2001.
Proposition A was strongly supported by all racial/ethnic/political
groups except conservative white voters. Complete election results
are available at http://www.sfgov.org/election/results0302/results.htm.
