The African American population increased 9.7 percent since the 2000 Census. Milwaukee County is home to 240,203 African Americans, comprising 69.4 percent of Wisconsin's African American population. This group is the largest racial minority group in Wisconsin. so does 29% of 6.1% of the population swing the vote? I could not find stats on registered voters by race in wisconsin which would provide a better picture of what the numbers really were. I do know there is also a lot of articles about black voters in wisconsin that didnt give a flying fuck about hillary and some that even voted for the Dumpfster so I think that 29% drop off is not entirely due to voter suppression.

After the election, registered voters in Milwaukee County and Madison’s Dane County were surveyed about why they didn’t cast a ballot. Eleven percent cited the voter ID law and said they didn’t have an acceptable ID. [Emphasis in the original - CRC] Didn't she lose the state by something tiny, like 23,000 votes? Since the Black population is ~650,000, surely at least half of those should be eligible (but for having their registration suppressed) voters? So at least some 325,000, of which then at least 35,000 were denied registration. Sure, you had some freak minority voting for Trump or Stein or whatever... But if only 70 % would have voted D, that would have been her missing 23 K votes. And I think my percentages (both the 50% and the 70%) are intentionally low-balled enough to give a good safety margin. So, yes, AFAICS 29% of 6% lost to GOP criminality was indeed enough to rob her of the victory. -- Christian R.
