5. It's certainly possible--
While some black pastors did get behind shrub on the gay marriage thing, and told their congregations to vote accordingly--we don't know how many individuals voted for *.

There is an expectation that minorities will vote the Democrat ticket, but this apparently is not the case. I've learned that there were also Hispanics that vote the conservative ticket, based also on religious values (abortion, homosexuality).

When I was growing up, asian schoolteachers in my community taught us to vote Democrat. My elementary school was in a predominantly asian community. I still remember my schoolteachers going down the ballot and asking us what "the right way to vote" was. If memory serves, they confirmed if we were old enough to vote, we should vote Dem up and down the ticket! LOL!

I was surprised to find that these days, many asian families vote republican. Times change of course.

Personally, I wouldn't rule out Diebold. Not every black person is religious or attends church. Not every black person that is a christian bought into the bullshit "christianity ploy." I know several personally that did not. That thought that * is the last person they would ever consider a christian. lol.
