Bit surprised that it wasn't lower than 35.5%, to be frank. Looks like the "war on coal" was a real thing. Makes you wonder if even someone like Schweitzer who'd you think would play well in West Virginia could win it these days.

But then again, if you had a white candidate you would think that he or she would get more white voters than Obama thus offsetting the decrease in minority turnout.
