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.

“...what CAN be done to turn this tide?...”
Nothing; it’s too late and will only get worse.

“This demonstrates why the GOP-e’s strategy of trying to get the votes of liberal minorities by alienating white conservatives is doomed to failure.”
And at the same time demonstrates how white “conservatives” gave Obama 4 more years.
Given every conservative knows the media is in the tank for Obama it is truly a wonder that folks actually thought Obama in office would be better than Romney.
And given that on any day of week any GOP-e would be no worse and most probably better than Obama.
But the dems are much better lying and posing as conservatives to convince people that staying home is vote for their conscious (to teach the GOP a lesson) and not a vote for Obama.. woohoo that’ll show em.
Why in the heck would the GOP change when their voter base doesn’t even show up?
And the percentage of those votes that were fraudulently cast?
Of course it’s fraud. And if this is how the game is played - play it. We need to be the people counting the votes. And if we need more votes, we pull them out of a bank of boxes and car trunks.
If we are unwilling fix the fraud or too good to do it, then we lose.
"I got the feeling Mitt Romney couldn't care less about me and my fellow African-Americans. A white Mormon swimming in money with offshore accounts buying up companies and laying off their employees just doesn't quite fit my idea of a president," she said. "Bottom line, Romney was not someone I was willing to trust with my future."

What can be done to turn the tide?
You need to prove to the black voters that the Democrat party is the party of eugenics, immorality, and anti-Christendom.
How you do that is through education via the local churches.
Unfortunately, our fascist Government has every church afraid of losing their tax exempt status if they talk politics. (I know this through personal experience—I was once an assistant pastor at a black church in Oakland, CA).
So, step one is to strike down the laws which tax the churches if they talk politics. It can be done via civil disobedience followed by litigation through the courts in which it is stressed that the prohibition against talking politics in church violates an individual’s Right to Free Speech.
Concomitantly, ALL churches need to begin educating and sheepskinning (diploma-ing) a new breed of educators which will fan out across the nation and replace the retiring Marxist school teachers in Middle-schools and High-schools where the majority of Liberal and Leftist indoctrination occurs. The Elementary schools can come later—no need wasting limited resources in the opening gambit.
Anyway, that’s the way to do it if you want long term, lasting payoffs. All else is just short-lived rewards with only temporary victories.
It’s a long, winding road, so don’t expect an immediate payoff. After all, it took the Proggies over a hundred years to get a full-blown commie into the White House.
Cheers!
If I am not mistaken, the Secretary of State in Ohio, Jon Husted, the person who oversees elections, was a Republican in 2012. Yet Ohio probably endured the most voter fraud in the nation.
Precinct chairs should be made up only of Grand Jury members, who work until 3 hours after poll closing time. Wouldn’t be
hard to make law if Grand Juries, on average, mirror the white/minority make-up of the precinct or county.
I don’t believe this for one minute. It’s only true if people names were written in or made up.
I gar-on-tee that most of those black voters voted by proxy. Obama’s myrmidons in the “community” industry took care of the actual ballot submission.
Black turnout was in excess of 250% - a new record
LOL!
But what percentage of them were actual living people?
And how many “white” votes were selectively “vanished” in small, unnoticeable chunks (percentages)?
Why don’t people understand that we are seeing MASSIVE vote fraud at work?
Romney and the establishment pubbies got rolled because they are innocents who want to ignore the obvious.
We need street fightin’ pols who will not take this crime lying down.
We're still waiting.
The first thing is to ban all Republican candidates from using the services, or accepting money, from Karl Rove and his organization. Either they agree to this, or from the very start the Tea Party and other conservative organizations should make it clear that no matter how much money they get from the big money men, that Republicans are not going to vote for them, so they might as well run as Democrats or independents.
In some black areas, over 100% of the population voted.
I’m calling total Bull! Voter fraud on a scale never seen before and no one in government has the stones to look into it.
Down ticket is where races are won and future policy is created. Romney was a pathetic candidate from a conservative’s point of view and he was a bridge too far for me and may others here, but you’re quite right to note that replacing Democrats is the key.
I just prefer not to do it with other Democrats.
Down ticket is where races are won and future policy is created.
*************
Correct you are. But if people are disheartened to the point of not bothering to get out and vote because of the top of the ticket then the impact if felt down ticket as well.
I still don’t understand the loss by Allen West in Florida’s 18th. Romney pulled something over 6,000 more votes than did West in the 18th. Had West got 1/2 of those votes he’d have won without a problem. Boggles the mind sometimes.
We agree. :)
And yes, West is a mystery. In a race as vicious as that one was, though, I can’t discount cheating. It appears to have been a widespread, and naturally unreported, problem.
