As I say, even that seems low.

https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/NC

71% white, 22% black.
Obama 51$, Romney 47%

You’re saying only 23% of the 51 = 12 were black?
OK, let’s put 2 at the most for Romney.
The other 8 stayed home.

Among the nonblacks, 39 were for Obama but 45 were for Romney. (12+39 = 51; 2 + 45 = 47)
The total is 84 (39+45) but there are only 78 nonblacks.

So black participation was 64% and nonblack participation was 108%?

I’ve doubted your numbers before.

_______

I interpreted it as saying 23% of all NC voters in 2016 were black.

Make that 2012, not 2016!
