2016 Presidential election voter turnout report

Damn, Texas's numbers are pathetic. Is that mostly hispanics not voting? If so, why the hell is the DNC not going all-out there?

I found W Virginia to be more surprising...I guess its not as pro-Trump as were lead to believe considering turnout there was 55% in 2004

I'd imagine a good chunk of them didn't want to choose between two Yankees/New Yorkers.

^"Plummeting" as the article suggests is a bit much but yeah it did decrease.

The first black president not being on the ballot this time around probably has a lot to do with that though. I'd also venture to guess that a lot of millennial black voters weren't excited by Hillary just like many white millennials weren't when compared to their enthusiasm for Obama.

The 30-44 white demographic voted Trump?? Jeez those are all Xers and older millennials who skewed right according to those results.

EP has whites ages 30-44 at 54 - 37 Trump. This is a huge difference. Interestingly enough, the 30-44 age bloc is 51 - 41 Clinton, which because it is a larger sample I assume is more accurate. How could the exit poll say whites ages 30-44 voted THAT bigly for Trump, yet the age group overall still have a double digit lead for Clinton?

I feel like either there are a huge number of minorities in that group that skews is that way, or the exit poll's 30-44 white vote is wrong and this^ is more accurate.

Interesting facts about Generation X that might support this possibly being the case:

They could very well be a very polarized voting generation.
