[quote:Companion to Owls 1487421:MV8yMDQ1MzMzXzM0MzY4MTY1X0FENjI5RjJB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 26578528:MV8yMDQ1MzMzXzk2MDFEQkI5] Women cast the bulk of the votes in this election (53%), breaking in Obama's favor by 11 percentage points. 53% of MARRIED women voted for Romney, but a whopping 67% of UNMARRIED women voted for Obama. In 1992 2% of the voters were Hispanics. They are 10% now and the backed Obama in huge numbers (70% Obama, 30% Romney). 94% (!!) of black voters voted for Obama and they voted in massive numbers. In 1996 10% of voters were non-white, in 2012 21% of voters were non-white. Census shows that whites lose US majority among babies. In a few generations, we us whites will be in the minority! The implications are clear. In the future, GOP must either pander to these demographics groups or there must be more white male voters who understand what's at stake and vote Republican. [/quote] Una Pregunta. How is it known how many women, blacks, whites, asians, hispanics, poor, rich people voted? Votes have not even yet been counted yet, much less a demographic overlay for district / precinct numbers to be made public...prematurely I would venture to surmize. Or are you just repeating what you are being told by the media? [/quote]
