Resolved: African American Republicans are smarter, as a group, than African American Democrats. I think this is true and demographic information shows that black republicans, like white republicans are more upwardly mobile.

If this proposition is true, how to explain black republicans being _50_ times more likely to overvote.

Only fraud can explain this.

I also want to echo what someone else has said: How do they seperate Republican ballots from Democrat ballots so they can know these things.

"How do they seperate Republican ballots from Democrat ballots so they can know these things?"

Easy. The down-ballot voting pattern.

See my reply here for one way they could easily separate Dem from GOP (and other) voter ballots.

How do you seperate the ballots so as to differentiate Republican ballots from Democrat ballots? Simple, statistical analysis of the other votes for national and state offices. It would be highly unlikely that a Democrat would vote a majority of Republican candidates for other offices.

In CT, any candidate (and, I guess, any citizen) can get voter lists by party affiliation. Prior to election day, each campaign identifies what it considers "its voters" and begins a letter and phone call drive to make sure they get out the vote.

Then, on election day, every hour a campaign worker collects the voter numbers (the number the moderator crosses off and reads to the booth attendant when you check in to vote) from the moderators and reports back to headquarters. Since each voter number is tied to a name, they know WHO has voted, but not necessarily HOW they voted.
