I don't know who will win in the 19th special election,but here's is where a majority of the votes might come from ,if history repeats itself

Special elections are all about turnout and usual patterns can be disrupted.Over the course of the last four election cycles (2002, 2004 ,2006 & 2008) since the current boundaries of the 19th State Senate District were established, a majority of the votes have come from less than a majority of the election districts. We won't know until the evening of August 3,2009 whether this pattern continues ,but below are where the majority of votes have come from in the 19th State Senate District since 2002 .

The seven election districts below (out of a total of 16 election districts) have produced between 67% and 69% of the districts votes cast in each of the elections since 2002.
These districts comprise 18,255 voters out of the 25829 registered in the 19th State Senate District. These districts make up 70.7% of the registered voters.
