What about the other "Lake Ontario" entries in the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS): Lake Ontario in Wells County, North Dakota and Ontario-on-the-Lake in Wayne County, NY. Also, USGS (which maintains GNIS) hasn't even updated their online maps, while Google Maps already has the change.

Lake Ontario still called Lake Ontario on USGS basemap.

I think we need alt text for posts, not just images. I’m assuming these are all soccer-related, but hard to know for certain.

Comptroller DiNapoli won yesterday's primary, but vote patterns in key NYC cong. districts are interesting. Map shows that except for NY12, he only got just above 50% in each of these CDs. Lightest-shaded EDs = less than 40% of vote; see especially NY7 & 10. In NY7 he only got 44% of vote overall.

Here's a quick view of NY13's unofficial results, comparing each candidate's vote share (on left) with turnout (number of votes, on right) by election district. Size of each ED's pie chart represents total votes cast; slice of pie is each candidate's share. 1/2

Looks like they're strongly in Lander's court! The election district - 45 in the 51st AD - extends beyond the cemetery boundary just south; see green rectangle in the screenshot. That is presumably where the voters are. Otherwise we mask the cemetery itself to avoid confusion. Fun with maps!

Updated NY12 map with 95pct of scanners reporting, after Assm. Lasher declared winner. Overall vote contours similar to earlier map, especially the patterns above (Lasher) and below (Bores) 59th St.

Solid support for Rep. Espaillat in NY13 in upper Manhattan and the Bronx portion of the district, but not strong enough. We'll have to do a separate turnout map for this district (number of votes per ED).

Steven Romalewski @sromalewski.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Decisive vote support for Brad Lander, especially in Brooklyn (except for Borough Park) but also in Manhattan's East Village/LES. Map based on about 80pct of scanners per NYC BOE.

Upper West Side definitely, but also something of an "uptown/downtown" split.

I happen to think our CUNY @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social map is a bit more detailed & hopefully as visually appealing & even more useful (20 filters, comparison w/2021, and overlays to display subways, NYCHA sites, & Council districts). Hope it's helpful! www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp...

Steven Romalewski @sromalewski.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

You can see the difference visually, as well. Maps below show renters/subway riders (Mamdani 57% of the vote) www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp... vs owners/car drivers (Cuomo 51%) www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp... Stark!

The NO vote on NYC Ballot Proposal 6 (local elections even years) closely mirrors the areas of the city where Trump did well in 2024, Sliwa did well in 2021 (and where Cuomo has done well so far in 2025): www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp...

So far, in election districts w/plurality of citizens of voting age (i.e, eligible voters) who are Black, Mamdani won w/63% of the vote (30 pt margin over Cuomo), w/94% of scanners reporting: www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp... In 2021, Adams swept these districts w/89% of the vote.

Steven Romalewski @sromalewski.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

In Borough Park, Cuomo received some of his strongest support such as ED 42 in Assembly district 48 w/96% of vote: www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp... In 2021, Adams did poorly in Boro Pk; in this this ED Sliwa had 56% of vote in '21. Also, only 265 people voted in '21 vs over 800 now (!).

010

Steven Romalewski @sromalewski.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Now w/almost all scanners reporting, Cuomo's vote support grows in districts w/plurality of voters w/Jewish surnames www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp... (almost 58% of vote in those EDs & a 20 pt margin). Notably Adams won those EDs in '21 w/70% of the vote & a 45pt margin.

Steven Romalewski @sromalewski.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

And Cuomo has plurality of support in areas w/plurality of active reg. voters w/Irish / Italian surnames (48% of vote; 13 pt margin over Mamdani) but Sliwa cut into that support (w/16% of vote so far). www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp... Notably, Sliwa won those EDs in 2021 w/52% of the vote.

Steven Romalewski @sromalewski.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

While Mamdani is doing well in districts w/plurality of active registered voters w/Muslim surnames (almost 60% of vote; 27 pt margin). www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp...

Steven Romalewski @sromalewski.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

NYC mayor 66 percent scanners reporting. Similar overall patterns. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Cuomo continues to do well in districts w/plurality of active registered voters w/Jewish surnames www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp... (56% of vote; 18 pt margin).

221

Steven Romalewski @sromalewski.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

So far, Mamdani has 58% of vote (22 pt margin over Cuomo) in districts that Adams won in 2021 www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp... but Cuomo doing even better (31 pt margin) in districts where Trump did well in 24 www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp...
