Well, the main difference is that white voter turnout was down slightly -- the black vote was up only slightly from 2012 and not at all from 2008

black voter turnout is pretty good when you control for stuff like SES; white people vote at around the same numbers, but you'd expect it to be a lot more based on that


i had thought data was showing white turnout was down and black basically constant

maybe it was turnout in majority-white areas that were deeply conservative, vs mixed communities being higher, meaning for once the white liberals of AL actually went to the polls?
