Henry already has move votes than all of 2004 in just the early vote.

“In 2004, black represented 25% of the total vote in GA.”

And in 2005 they made up 35% of the population of GA. Based on both statistics, and the fact that Obama has really pushed the early voting, it doesn’t appear that black in Georgia are voting in significantly high percentages.

And 29% of registered voters.

US Census Bureau puts them at 30% of the population. This is very high compared to national average. Oh Well, Atlanta is the black Mecca of the south....

As a race African-Americans make up about 12% of the population I think, but they vote as a higher percentage in most elections, especially Presidential. I did not know that they voted at 25% in 2004 but if that holds up then that makes me a little more nervous.

All my vote calculations have figured the African-American turnout at 12-18%.
