I keep hearing Black or Hispanic votes are up but what about white votes?

If they are up too then it could be a wash, though I think white women will cross over a lot more this cycle than during the last one. Is there any data on this someone can share? If the nut-burgers are so riled up they want an armed revolution I am guessing they are pretty motivated too. Lets just hope its a small segment that is that motivated.

The data that does look very positive is the high number of Dems coming out and if black and Hispanics are coming out at a higher % increase than whites then we should be in good shape.

"Turnout is up across the board, compared to early voting in 2008. But it only increased by about 41% among white voters and only about 13% among black voters."

Of course, Hispanic turnout is way up. In addition, Hillary is likely winning college-educated whites. So it is unclear how this all washes out in the end.
