Mid-term Election Debrief


Listen Later

The mid-term election is over, ballots are still being counted, and the dreaded red wave turned out to be a red ripple. Our friend Roy Casagranda joins Plutopians as we dissect election 2022.

Roy Casagranda: If you look at the 2018 election, 95% of blacks voted Democrat, which is, like, unbelievable. 67% of Hispanics voted Democrat, and 75% of Asians voted Democrat. In 2020, the black number didn’t really move much, maybe a little bit. The Hispanic number went from 67% to 60%, and then the Asian number went from 75% to 70%. So there was a little bit of loss of reliability in the 2020 election. But the voter turnout was so massive it didn’t really matter, because the big problem that Democrats have is not the unreliability of people of color, it’s that 60% of white people are voting Republican. That’s the real problem. And then the other part that have that’s a problem is that Democrats are really awful at showing up and voting.
