The calculator is deeply flawed.  Whites from different cultural regions vote totally differently from one another.  Ditto with different Hispanic and Asian ethnic groups.  Even the blacks have different voting patterns based on region.  The uniform racial swing promoted by this calculator produces totally implausible results and renders it basically worthless.

Actually, they do factor in region. Scroll down the page and you will see stuff about that.
