DC Election Results
City-wide, we voted 90.24% for Harris-Walz, by far the largest margin in the entire US, and only a slight drop from the 92.15% that went Biden-Harris in 2020.
In Ward 6, we showed up and showed out, as we do! Results from the DC Board of Elections as of Saturday night, November 9:
Ward 6 went 88.87% for Harris-Walz, only a slight drop from the 90.15% that went Biden-Harris in 2020
72.42% of registered voters in Ward 6 voted this year, second only to Ward 3 (78.09%) and virtually tied with Ward 2 (72.54%)
47,861 ballots were cast in Ward 6, the highest number in any Ward in the city (Ward 5 was second, with 44,749)
In local election results:

Ankit Jain won election as Shadow U.S. Senator
Oye Owolewa won re-election as Shadow U.S. Representative

Ward 6 and Blue Wave GOTV Results OUTSIDE DC
Ward 6 also showed up and showed out to encourage Democrats outside DC to vote.
DC Dems sent 4,000 postcards to voters in swing states (Ward 6 volunteers didn’t do them all, but we contributed a lot!)
DC Dems sent more than 19,000 AFL-CIO Working America letters to union households in swing states (again, Ward 6 volunteers didn’t do them all, but we contributed a lot!)
DC Dems knocked more than 12,000 doors in Pennsylvania on October 19 alone, as part of nearly two months of sending cars and buses of canvassers every weekend
Although we were not ultimately successful in our efforts to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, we were successful in two of the key down ballot races we targeted; Eugene Vindman in the House (VA-07) and Angela Alsobrooks (MD) in the Senate
As our chair, Elizabeth Engel, tweeted from our account on Wednesday, November 6: "Eternal gratitude to every volunteer in Ward 6 (and all the other Wards) for everything you put into this election. We're all reeling today - be gentle with yourself and others - but DC volunteers left it all on the field, and we couldn't be more proud of you."
