.@sidney_b and I did a deep look at black voters. Most interesting dynamic is the generational differences. Older black voters are more partisan--they both like and trust the Democratic Party and dislike the GOP much more than younger black voters. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-partisan-gender-and-generational-differences-among-black-voters-heading-into-election-day/

Young Black voters don't see Democrats as representing their interests. We have to do a better job of communicating with them, and convincing them to get more involved in the process. Ownership in the Democratic Party is a great motivator to get out and vote. My two cents.
