Youngkin won a higher % of non-white votes than any GOP statewide nominee since Holton/Coleman

The account at which the claim was originally made is now gone. I don't know what that means. Can anyone verify this claim?

Racial polarization of voting keeps declining and just calling Republican voters a bunch of white supremacists when they win -- saying any opposition to Democrats on education boils down to racism -- is clearly not going to address that.

1. So, after analyzing every precinct in Virginia...it's obvious that Youngkin won a higher % of non-white votes than any GOP statewide nominee since Holton '69/Coleman '77.

1. Demographics are shifting

Calling everyone a racist who does not vote our way is a losing strategy over the long term.

2. Yeah, but the Republican base is racist

If a candidate appeals to the base, they give racism credibility as a campaign issue. What does that say about the candidate? Take away the 35 percent base vote, and they can't win.

3. Take away 35 percent from anybody, and he can't win. NT

4. So, the white supremacists gave Youngkin the win.

5. Haven't seen this data anywhere else.

The only exit poll I saw about race had McAuliffe running about the same as Biden.

6. I'm hoping I can find some sort of verification. Thanks. NT

7. There is no way to absolutely verify

the race of the person who filled out a ballot. Think about it. Did you write your race on the ballot you filled out? Once you drop your ballot in the box, it becomes anonymous. The only way you can put a number on what race voted for who is exit polling, and those numbers, as with all polling, are dubious.
