In one of the most contentious elections in the last 100 years, the racial voting lines were not quite as stark as I expected. While black voters voted in the ratio I expected, I honestly expected this type of ratio along all racial lines except white given the Republican rhetoric in the latest presidential election:

TBH, this was an election for the Democrats to lose, when it came to non-white voters and the ball was dropped. I'm not sure why they keep chasing these edge-case voters and ignoring the lower and middle class, base. They assume they're "gimme's" I assume - but voter turn out will, and does, drop =[
Full disclosure, I live in the Seattle area, so the rhetoric bubble here is strong
