we'll never win the minority vote, but having 30-40% would be great

yeah that's what I meant

ok

while i look, here's one for racial composition by state during 2016,

>FL: Hispanics 15% of electorate

Damn

That's close to the black's percentages

found it,

apparently,

during 2014, Whites made up 75% of the electorate nationwide

And in 2012 and 2010?

Notice how _Asians_ vote +1 for the GOP that year

that gives context for a trend

Well, shit

A minority group voted for Rs at some point?

That speaks for potential

Asians used to be a reliable GOP base,

what changed was they all move to urban areas, where all racial groups trend blue

Eh, what can you really do about that

Anyways, do you have the 2012 and 2010 data also, just to make sure we have a trend?

i'm looking, that data seems pretty ancient and buried lol

_oh_

in 2012, Whites made up 72% of the electorate

mostly because minority turnout was high because Obama was on the ballot

well, that's something, they do turn out higher in the midterms then

asians also voted much more dem than in midterms

again, because Obama

this is all very interesting

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 I can see Asians coming back to the GOP at some point. I don't buy the whole "Collective Asian Culture". They would be perfect Republicans. Especially Koreans and Japanese.

if a racial minority is not on the ballot, racial minorities won't turn out

@Den i could buy into that hypothesis

fortunately for us,

most Democrat candidates in the midterms will be White, so turnout can't be _that_ high

I especially with the number of Evangelical Koreans. I think over time as they begin to feel more "Mainstream American".

Didn't the asians also vote for Clinton too?

actually no

What exactly was their vote?
