The vote tallies are skewed by including the black vote. 95 percent of blacks vote democrat, and the overwelming majority of black voters are female, which tends to mislead aggregate numbers when you mix in the black vote with the white vote. The problem is that 1/3rd of all black men are not allowed to vote.
If you look at the numbers of white men vs white women, and black men vs black women, they are nearly the same. In states and counties with few blacks, there is no gender gap.
White men voted 60/36 for Bush; white women voted 49/48 for Bush. That's a huge disparity, and we should try to figure out what we can do about it.
