Black neighborhoods often do early voting/sunday voting because frankly, it's more difficult to get off work in the predominance of jobs that black people tend to find and they don't have to worry about getting harassed as much during early voting.
The gaggle of conservative/John Bircher type vote intimidators - err, "voter fraud monitors" aren't that large enough in numbers to be able to engage in more than one or two days of intimidation.
