The Way For The GOP To Win More Black Support
From
the new York Times:

The
precinct
level returns in Hinds County [Missippi]
bolster
the theory that a surge in black, Democratic turnout allowed Senator
Thad Cochran to defeat Chris McDaniel, a Tea Party-backed state
senator, in last month’s Republican primary runoff in Mississippi.
Mr.
Cochran won by 7,667 votes. Nearly half — a net 3,532 votes —
came from the most Democratic precincts in Jackson’s Hinds County,
where President Obama won a combined 97.8 percent of the vote in
2012, according to figures released Tuesday night by the Mississippi
secretary of state.
The
surge in turnout was clearest in overwhelmingly black precincts;
turnout sometimes increased by more than 3,000 percent over the
initial Republican primary.................
