Blacks constitute 35% of all voters so far. I’d imagine this is considerably greater than blacks representation of the overall population in Georgia.

You’re going to see blacks representation higher in the urban areas just like anywhere else. That’s how they got control of Atlanta, Macon, etc..... While they control Atlanta, they don’t control any county around it.

Not by much. 29.9% is the US Census estimate for 2006.

On the bright side, I would expect that 35% figure to likely fall tomorrow. I suspect that African Americans that support Obama have already voted in states where early voting is allowed.

In 2004, African Americans represented 25% of Georgia’s turnout, based on exit polling.
