Whites. you have to be realistic. blacks vote historically democrat and so do many hispanics. that s a split in the community. when you look at the black community, if there is suppression of the votes why is there such a higher turnout rates? when you look at the states they attack florida, georgia or they considered in this report florida, georgia, indiana, michigan, tennessee, the turnout was better for blacks. in what it shows is americans will go out and vote if they have the desire to vote. frankly, how often do we vote? do we vote every day, every month? no. we vote once a year in local elections. congress two years, six years, et cetera. i want to say something to the american people. it is voter verification. your vote should be counted accurately. on top of that you get ....
That excuse me, if you had it in 2004, that romney would have won. nate, i know you did the numbers and you came to a different conclusion. yeah, i think that conclusion is premature. the study compares the 2012 exit polls with the 2004 current population survey from the census. and by mixing those numbers together, you end up exaggerating the amount that turnout changed over those two elections. in reality, the amount that turnout increased among minority groups is much more modest. take colorado where whites were 7878% of the electorate according to the exit polls, but the current population survey is probably going to say it was something like 84%. and that big gap in the suddeny winds up being attributed to changes in turnout rates when in reality it s due to the different methodologies of the two studies. while it s true that latinos alone are insufficient for republicans to take back the presidency, it s also true that changing black turnout rates isn t sufficient for the pre ....
Going have. but the very notion of latino as a voting act latinos have always been much more likely to split vote and it s as much about country of origin and the state where people are as it is about latino identity. right. we re increasingly seeing, i wanted to look at the turnout rates and the numbers of latino voters who have been increasingly showing up in the democratic party. yes. and this kind of change in latino voter turnout of almost 3 percentage points from 04 to 08. we re expecting that keep happening. expect two million more in the general election this year. wee saw the biggest turnout in latino vote in 2010. in mid terms. record breaking. why are they turning out? my family is from south america, we care about the same issues as everybody else does. the economy, jobs. the economy, jobs, ....
Never voted for republicans. they were so frightened by the direction of our party. again, i m speaking, these are not crossover voters. these are rock-ribbed republicans who are asking, what the hell is going on with our party? not only is it a waste of air time, but it s a political loser at the end of the day because of the impact it has on the demographic you re talking about. the bigger issue here for me in terms of the conversations we re having or not having is the fact the younger generation in this country are peeling off. they re not getting involved anymore. if you look at the turnout rates, we re down and we re down because they think their vote doesn t matter anymore. we re down because they say campaigns are already rigged by the way they re financed that incumbents always win reelection and therefore their voice and vote don t matter anymore. when the next generation of this country, the greatest democracy ....
Running against the thought that the enthusiasm around today s race as going to boost turnout, far above where it was in 2008 and they re finding that the turnout is much lower than expected and this could have a couple of effects. first of all, could benefit mitt romney because a lot of people who vote for mitt romney are mormon and they have turnout rates, 70 to 75% so if the turnout is low and the mormons like to come out, that could throw more votes mitt romney s way and the big question tonight with mitt romney, will he go above 50%? will he get a majority of the vote? some people are talking will he get above 55%, who could that hurt? that could hurt newt gingrich, he needs people out and could benefit ron paul because, harris, s he got a big ground oranges in nevada and had people here since 2008, the last time he appeared in the caucuses and came in second and if he has a low turnout. that could potentially mean a the lot of ron paul supporters do not get diluted by support by ....
