It is always interesting to see how the area where you live votes and, though you can get a bit of a gauge based on conversations around the community (though many avoid political conversations with strangers), it’s always interesting to see how it plays out at the polls.
Below is a look at all the precincts included in SouthBMore.com’s coverage area. In the analysis section, we also zero in on just the South Baltimore peninsula neighborhoods that are very intertwined and part of both Baltimore City’s District 11 and Maryland’s District 46, thus removing Ridgely’s Delight, Pigtown, and Barre Circle from this part of the analysis.

In SouthBMore.com’s coverage area, Brown took the area by 100 votes, 3086-2986 or 50.8%-49.2%. But, looking at the South Baltimore peninsula, eliminating 21-001 through 21-004, Hogan wins by 260 votes, 2577-2317 or 52.7%-47.3%.
Without putting too much stock in one major election, the Ridgely’s Delight/Barre Circle/Pigtown area appears to lean Democrat with 74% of votes going to Anthony Brown. The peninsula as a whole, in this case, is relatively split with Republican support growing the farther you get from Downtown. The best showings of support for Hogan were in Locust Point, South Baltimore and Riverside.
Hogan won the General Election with 51% of the vote to Brown’s 47.2% (884,400-818,890), but Brown won Baltimore City 77.5% – 22.5% (106,213 to 30,845).
Baltimore’s entire representation at the city, state and federal level is Democrat.
