Who voted in the 2010 election in North Carolina? A county-by-county profile of who voted – by race, sex, age and party – shows that turnout among registered Republicans in North Carolina increased by 11 percentage points over 2006, the last mid-term election, but by only 5 points for Democrats. But the Democrats can’t blame their black supporters for this weak performance: turnout among African-American voters increased by 11 percentage points over 2006, compared to a 7 point gain for all white voters. Read the Democracy North Carolina overview and the four pages of details for the 81 counties that have so far reported the demographic details of their voters.
