Actually, the minority turnout was not unusually high, relative to the non-minority. The erroneous information was based on the same bad exit polls that gave the state to Gore. Florida codes voters by race, so when the actual figures came out, black voting (casting a ballot, counted or not) as a PERCENTAGE OF REGISTERED VOTERS was about 4% lower than the state average.

Anecdotal evidence (and media reports) when I lived in Miami-Dade, where I lived in 2000, showed that black turnout was VERY high. I know that our local candidate for State's Attorney, Al Millian, was winning the election until these huge vote totals came in from the northern part of the county (heavily black) and the Beach (heavily Jewish and Gay).
