60% of the County's "white" vote is not enough to carry the district, because 99% of the non-white vote is going the other way, with fraud hot spots available if it really gets tight.

Betcha non-white turnout in this one was light.

Yes, we agree.

High white turn out, low non-white turn out is traditional in off year elections.

Also, whites have the highest voter eligibility, usually close to 80%.

Hispanics often have less than 40% eligible voters, usually because of citizenship and age issues.

Blacks have around 70% eligibility.

I will speculate that felony convictions play a significant part in that number.
