Did Voting Restrictions Determine the Outcomes of Key Midterm Races?

Meanwhile, back here on Planet Earth, the stark reality is that Hispanics ("Fucking Mexicans" in Vettespeak) still favor Democrats by a 3:2 margin in off-year elections, which hasn't changed in 40 years. And the number is even worse in presidential election years.

Nevertheless, folks like Michael Barone tell folks like 4est_gump soothing little cherry picked nostrums like "if you compare presidential years to non-presidential years, victory!"[/QUOTE

How about the fastest growing group, Asians? Got a similar chart for them?

Excellent deflection attempt!

To answer your question, anecdotally it appears that Asian Americans trend towards Republicans. Not a lot of research is done on them, as they account for less than 5% of the American population.

Compare that to the 17+% of Americans who are Hispanic. Or don't.

And while Asians might be the "fastest" growing group, Hispanics are not far behind them!

Bottom line: the aging White Patriarchy continues to shrink, 2% each presidential election cycle since 2000.

Anecdotally? Take a look at this:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...iter-than-2012-it-also-voted-more-republican/

"Note the big swing in the Asian voting bloc, too. In 2012, strong support for the president among Asian-American voters was a surprise. Asian voters preferred the president by 47 points. In 2014, the (low turnout) group split about evenly. It was a 46-point swing."

Once again, you're doin' an AJ.

The demographics of non-presidential years is in no way shape or form comparable to the presidential years. The skew is tremendously towards older, geriatric voters, who vote overwhelmingly Republican. Race is at best a secondary indicator.

If you want to impress me, and I know you do, show me the apples-to-apples race demographic of the last non-presidential year (2010) and compare that to the 2014 numbers. I have no idea what they are, and can't be bothered to look them up for myself, but I'd hazard a guess that the percentage hasn't changed appreciably.

Using your apples-to-oranges comparison, President Obama got a lot fewer votes last Tuesday than he did in 2012.

He got fewer voters in 2012 than 2008, too.

IF YOU DONT LIKE MY POLICIES GO WIN AN ELECTION. Obama

 

[zipman]

He knows that black unemployment is almost the white unemployment rate

Probably talking about 18 trillion in debt

10-12 million Americans stopped looking for work

A part time economy mandated by Obamacare

The lowest labor force participation since the 60s

Take home pay of the average worker has declined

No doubt he understands the stock market isn't the economy

LOL, except those were the three he liked to tout when Bush was president. Funny how there are different standards depending on which party the president belongs to, isn't it?

Hispanics think theyre white. Most are.

 

[DooleyDarter]

Where is the list of names of people who where not allowed to vote? If there is no voter fraud, according to the left, how could there possibly be voter repression?

Obama hasn't really addressed the black community much and everytime he's glanced in our direction Republicans come howling out of the woodwork about how he's racist against them. That number is going to stay up until someone directly goes in and works on it.

10-12 million were mostly aged out and others voluntarily left.

Take home pay is lower and again what is he gonna do about that? I mean aside from raise the minimum wage which he can't do without you people getting on board.

How is the lack of voter fraud got anything to do with voter repression? I mean I highly doubt that voter repression had any major effect on this but still.

Its the same whiny shit from the left all the time. If they win an election there is no such thing as voter fraud. If they lose an election its due to voter repression. the song they sing is getting old, that could be why they lost.

I'm sure this made sense to you as you were typing it.

Voter fraud and voter represssion are not the same thing. We have very limited evidence of voter fraud, we know there is voter repression. I'm skeptical that it had any effect on the election but we know it can and does happen.

BTW, I meant to say the black unemployment rate is twice the white rate.

Funny how you deflect.

Which gives you half as many excuses for being chronically unemployed.

That's been true for as long as anybody can remember. There are still lots of disadvantages to being black in America.

I'm not deflecting at all. I gave a specific reason why I chose those 3 criteria.

zip, the gas price went down despite the wishes and desires of the administration. That was the efforts of the private sector which saw and acted upon an opportunity to do something better than government could do even under the best intentioned leader since George Washington. He actually thinks high prices are to our benefit.

The markets are up due to Fed pumping and the current flight to quality from world-wide fears of a new global recession, one that will hit us last, but hit us still, so be primed to move money out of stocks and into something more stodgy in the near future.

As far as the new jobs and the new unemployment rate, that is great news for Democrats. Unfortunately, for those who actually vote for them to make their lives better, this has been done by incentive to not work through welfare and other benefits and a plethora of low-wage part-time and temp jobs which keep them in a constant dog-paddle just to provide the basic necessities of life.

Don't bother to reply, you're still on ignore for being a hateful partisan shill, I just saw vette quote you and thought that I would reply to those out there who think just like you do.

Usually when there is talk of voter fraud people demand to know who committed the fraud.
Could you tell us who was restricted from voting>
A few names with witness would be good.

 

[richard_daily]

No.

They'll say, you talk to busybody and JBJ so we support racism too.

And, you know... the racist shit that you say on the reg. But of course, that's not your fault, you were forced to do it.

The last time I knew for sure that it happened because it was caught on videotape, Holder declined to prosecute.

You want the names of people who were purged?

We know that early voting has been restricted in certain areas, how many people that actually stopped from voting is impossible to know. While I'm a supporter of making voting day a holiday if you want to argue that if you can't be bothered to vote even if it means using a sick day then fuck you I'm only going to offer token resistance. Voting is a bit of a chore for me, the polls open "late" enough that going before work means counting on no one else being line and going afterward isn't fun. But it's my fault I don't live and work in the same area.

There are no names for this, you either believe that anytime you make it harder for people to vote that fewer people vote or you do not. IF you do not it's kinda like global warming or evolution. Even a polar bear developing flippers wouldn't persuade you.

The last time I knew for sure that it happened because it was caught on videotape, Holder declined to prosecute.

I don't recall that case but without even looking I can say it either didn't happen at all or it was something "innocent" like two brothers going in and voting for each other just to prove you could get away with it.
