DeLeon and Latterman Analyze City Voting TrendsPaul Hogarthbyline‚ Mar. 01‚ 2007SF State Professor Rich DeLeon and analyst David Latterman gave a presentation yesterday at SPUR about recent voting trends in City elections. DeLeon, who literally wrote the book on San Francisco politics, has collaborated with Latterman over the past five years in developing the Progressive Voter Index (PVI) – a statistical analysis of precinct-level results that measures “how progressive” San Francisco voters are. At yesterday’s presentation, the duo assessed how the City has changed in the past five years (in measuring PVI trends), compared last November’s election results with the PVI numbers, and offered predictions about what it means for San Francisco’s future. |
