I like your math.Quote from Ricter:

127 million votes for Obama+Romney.
"Whites" cast 72% of those, "blacks" cast 13%.
"Whites" cast 127*0.72*0.39 votes for Obama: 36 million.
"Blacks" cast 127*0.13*0.93 votes for Obama: 15 million.
The mid-80s are the typical percentage of "blacks" who vote democrat. If that had been the case for Obama 2012...
127*0.13*0.85 = 14 million "black" votes for Obama, one million fewer....
Take those from Obama, leaving 65 million votes for Obama, and give them to Romney, 62 million votes. Obama still wins.
The "white" vote carried the day.
Lets go ahead and give credit to the Republicans for voting in the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Democratic Party: (63â37%)
Republican Party: (80â20%)
