Election results are from San Diego Registrar of Voters; precinct boundaries are from SanGIS, parsed with Shapefile library. I used the map of Congressional Districts as the background - that was the highest-resolution map of San Diego I could find. (I tried to stitch together a map from Google Maps screenshots, but that didn't work so well - I couldn't get the election overlay to match geographic features perfectly.)
All precincts with 20 or more recorded votes are shown.
It's striking how little opposition there is for Prop 8 outside North County coast and central neighborhoods (Hillcrest, South Park & such). Most neighborhoods south of 94 vote for Obama and Yes on 8. Same with Indian reservations (Pala, Barona, Santa Ysabel) and democratic pockets in Escondido and El Cajon.

nice work, much better than what UT published the other day. however the .png files posted here are a bit ragged when zooming in to particular villages, eg la jolla. could you post a higher rez version?
or provide more detail on how you made these maps. like what program did you use? i figured out how to download the precinct layers from SanGIS but now i dont know what app to open them with.
