Analyzing UFT Election Results: My Data

Over the next ten days or so I will subject the recent UFT election results to some analysis. There is more here than

• Unity won 66% – 34%
• Unity’s vote totals were lower than usual
• United for Change raised its vote in most divisions
• United for Change won the high schools.

The real story will be more complicated. It might not be much more interesting. But as we ponder “what next?” it is important to have as complete a picture as possible of what just happened.

I will be using historical data. I have some historical data, going back to 2004. Some I took from Dave Kaufman. Some I compiled myself. 2019 has a different source; I’d like to double check it. And in 2016 some of the data appears altered – I myself may have been the culprit, as I wrongly adjusted for retirees’ percentage of a vote.

If you have corrections, please send them in.

If you would like the Excel file, please write to me.
