“In other words, the minorities voted for whites.
In other words, she can’t accept the will of the voters of color.
Thats true if the election was based on majority win and not plurality.
For example, say the elections were multi-candidate with one white candidate and at least five minority ones for each office. So a total of six candidates per office.
If all the white kids vote as a bloc, the white candidates can each win with 20% of the vote. The five (or more) other candidates divide the remaining 80%, an none of them win so long as none of them reach 20%+1.
Thats at least in theory, and shows the power of bloc voting to win pluralities.
I do agree though that the notion that the offices were all won by minorites, locking 20% of the population out of the government is highly plausible as well. But this notion of creating new positions to achieve some measure of representative presence based on race/ethnicity violates one person/one vote in a bad way. No matter the color of who won or lost.
It’s what their mothers do. They vote for the white democrats who hand out the most freebies.
