I would love if someone could do a county map with the white  vote only, I guess a good estimate could be figured out by looking at the demographics of each county and allocating to Obama 95% of blacks  and 72% of the Asian/Hispanic/other, doing this one should be able to get a rough estimate of the non-Hispanic white vote.

I would too but as a Georgian, I might be embarrassed to look at it. I'm sure there are plenty of counties in south Georgia where whites voted less than 5% Democrat. I mean, seriously, just look at the census results (black & white percentage) for most counties down there and you'll get a rough estimate of the election results.




Yea that's true, I like to look at Romney's  percentage in a given county and compare it to the percentage of whites in that county.

Example the 2010 Census says Futon County is 41% white, Romney got  34.5% of the vote in Fulton. I am almost positive that at least 97% of Romney's votes in Fulton came from whites.

34.5 x 0.97= 33.5%
33.5 divided by 41% = 82%


Romney probably got around 82% of the white vote in Fulton give or take.
