Yazoo, MS. 54.0% Black, Bush 51.6%. Makes me wonder if there's more in that state...that aren't even close.
EDIT: One more. Copiah, 51.0% Black, Bush 55.9%.
In fact, here's a list of MS Black only percentages and Kerry percentages...very interesting in a way...
marks counties over one-third black where Kerry's percentage is above the Black percentage.
marks counties under one-third black where Kerry's percentage is below the Black percentage.
marks counties where Kerry's percentage is more than twice the Black percentage, ie counties where over half of the Democratic vote comes from Palefaces. : + D for Dem, : + P for Paleface, get it? Yawn.
