WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

Well, if the GOP hadn’t fielded a candidate whose background and history screamed Progressive Liberal, I doubt that would have been the case.
But when both parties field a Democrat, it’s really hard to get your base enthused.
We all know that blacks are one issue voters.
That Issue-——Black.
How many voted more than once ????
...and look where it got us!
Highly contestable! When you consider that groups of blacks were bused from precinct to precinct, from state to state, even, and local democratic pollsters admitted to voting as many as 6 times each...and I wonder just how often that happened in Philly, DC, large cities all over...? There is no way that this was a fair election. It was stolen...and what’s more...Obama knew that they would not let him down, they’d do what they had to do to get him re-elected. Non citizens were bused from state to state, people from Africa who could not speak English, even! This report is plain old BS!
I smell fraud.
sure they did...
1. Mitt Romney was a truly lousy candidate. Abortion, health care, immigration, gay marriage, massive government spending, you name it and he was nearly as bad as Obama.
2. Most blacks live in Democrat inner cities, where vote cheating is massive.
3. Every sign points to vote cheating on a scale even worse than it was under Bill Clinton, which is pretty amazing.
But did Mitt Romney even open his mouth to question this massive cheating, which was extremely open and obvious? Of course not. He had no interest in attacking Obama. He only attacked conservatives running in the primary.
On election day ‘08 I was driving for Trailways. An “activist” group put about 25 Spanishs peaking people on the bus in Iowa City headed for Chicago with pictograph* fliers instructing them how to vote. I assume they had already voted in Iowa.

I KNEW IT! VINDICATION!
On both counts - high level, and made Uhbama win.
Because they can’t wait to vote for a pseudo-black.
Liberals think of it as a force multiplier. One black with many votes is worth at least that many other race votes.
When a black Dem is involved.
Really, their 1 issue is - welfare.
With many black precincts turning out greater than 100%.
They are dedicated. Why some even voted 3 or 4 times!
Yes. And now the Establishment is starting to beat the drums for their next pick, Jeb. Jeb could not run in ’12 because the memories of ’08 were still too fresh. But now George is being rehabilitated, at least “Compassionate George,” is. Warlord George, not so much.
Even the dead ones probably voted 2 or 3 times.
The point of the article is that whites stayed home in large numbers. Had their turnout been in line with historic norms, Romney would have won. Many of those who stayed home were Freepers. Go figure.
The count was probably 140% of the registered black voters.
FRAUD....
