New York City Election Results - The Vote for Mayor, Block by Block - Interactive Graphic - NYTimes.com

New York City Election Results - The Vote for Mayor, Block by Block - Interactive Graphic - NYTimes.com:
"Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg won re-election Tuesday, but voters were less enthusiastic about him than the last time he ran in 2005. The mayor did well in high-income white areas of Manhattan and Queens, and also in election districts dominated by immigrants, like Flushing and Brighton Beach. But his vote fell sharply in black
neighborhoods, especially southeast Queens, where the black middle class has been hard-hit by foreclosure."


Fascinating, but how do they have this detailed of data? If I live on one block and vote across the street, how do they know? Clearly section by section (by polling stations) makes sense, but block by block?
