Who are the Republican voters in this precinct?

I'm cross-posting this from AAD so others can see it, as I believe it is the correct answer.

I'm glad to see that jim confirmed my belief that Koreans were the predominant Asian bloc in the precinct, and brtd later explained that Somalis were a large portion of the black population (which now explains the ridiculously-low turnout rate in the precinct).

So a plurality of McCain voters in that precinct are black (which actually isn't that odd, since blacks make up about 80% of the total population there)?  I actually wonder in how many precincts nationwide were a plurality (or in some cases, a majority?) of McCain voters black.

Probably almost all precincts where virtually everyone is black.

In Georgia (varies by county in any state, obviously), the precincts will generally need to be at least 92% black and the white number will need to be less than half of the remainder. I actually made a map of this for GA this morning but it's on my other computer. Something like 135 precincts in the state; almost all of them in Atlanta. There were about 10 scattered elsewhere in the state (Columbus, Augusta, Macon, Albany, Savannah & Valdosta - no rural precincts fit the bill).


EDIT: Ugh, looks like I lost the map. I do have the tabulations, though.
