Fivethirtyeight.com did a study on the non-black vote per county, assuming (for the study) equal turnout and 96% of blacks in every county voting for Obama. There were a few counties in the Deep South where Obama was projected to have gotten less than 0% of the non-black vote (and several less than 5%). Obviously, below zero is impossible, but those counties would have majority-black precincts for McCain.
BTW, where are you all getting the precinct demographics from - 2000 or 2010? I've found 2000 on the census website, but 2010 would be more accurate for the 2008 election. If those are from 2010, where did you find them?
