In a first, black voter turnout rate passes whites [2012 Election Analysis]

America's blacks voted at a higher rate than other minority groups in 2012 and by most measures surpassed the white turnout for the first time, reflecting a deeply polarized presidential election in which blacks strongly supported Barack Obama while many whites stayed home.

Had people voted last November at the same rates they did in 2004, when black turnout was below its current historic levels, Republican Mitt Romney would have won narrowly, according to an analysis conducted for The Associated Press.

Census data and exit polling show that whites and blacks will remain the two largest racial groups of eligible voters for the next decade. Last year's heavy black turnout came despite concerns about the effect of new voter-identification laws on minority voting, outweighed by the desire to re-elect the first black president.

Naturally not reported? I guess you mean that since the MSM is totally leftist and corrupt it is natural for it to lie and to censure information.

The question will be can the progressive communists tip toe the line, make things bad but not bad enough to case an all out collapse? If they can do that they will maintain power. If they cannot and there is a collapse then there is a chance for followers of the US Constitution to rise up and reestablish the republic.

Yes, it was not actual black voter turnout, but poll workers voting for black people who failed to turn out.

Voter fraud was MASSIVE last election. The swing states were stolen.

I wish I could believe that scenario.

At the present, or even slightly decreased rate, the US will - not might - collapse, SHTF, and we will cease to exist as certain foreign powers take-over our worldwide interests, our allies collapse and possibly even wreak irreversible havoc (massive ‘soft target’ terrorism, Aztlan invasion chaos, EMPs etc) on us, here.

The carnage will be so far beyond massive as to be unbelievable.

What’s left will be the size of Texas or a few scattered states trying to reunite. Perhaps we can pull parts of it back together; at 63, and as well-prepared and well-armed as I am, I hope to be around to get in on it.

Personally, I’d rather it didn’t happen, but the true facts indicate otherwise.

now have the highest rate of voters than any other ethnic population? Sounds like a whole lot of voter fraud going on out there!

Bingo! All those wards in Philly and Chicago where the turnout exceeds registration will have affected the statistics.

This is what happens when you have a Marxist and a liberal as your two major party candidates for President.

Bingo, Colonel. That is the irreducible equation that explains the last election to a T.
