The Prairie Pooch Hole
the African-American share of the vote did go up slightly,
from 11 percent in 2004 to 13 percent in 2008.
The white share declined a few points.
Latinos stayed the same.
The share of young voters went up by one percentage point.
The share of new voters stayed the same.
But there was a noticeable shift by party.
Democrats went from 37 percent of voters in 2004 to 40 percent this year.
Independents also went up.
Republicans declined from 37 to 32.
All consistent with pre-election polls that showed Democrats excited and Republicans demoralized.
