To write this essay, you will need the following;

  • data on the rate of voter turnout among the three groups indicated between 2008 and 2012.
  • an inference on what you think this means and how it relates to the ideologies or candidates fielded by the democrats and republicans.
  • and reasons to believe or disbelieve that the figures affected the results of the elections.

Summarily, in 2008, there was an increase in voter turnout among the three ethnic groups. 1 in 4 of the votes cast shown to be from non-whites.

Compared to 2004, the Hispanics had a turnout rate that increased by 2.7%. Blacks had an increment of 4.9%. These figures indicate huge support for the candidate, President Obama, the first African American to become the president of the United States. Whites turnout fell from 67.2% in 2004 to 66.1% in 2008.

The same pattern repeated in 2012 as there was an increased turnout rate from the minority groups. These might indicate a growing feeling of inclusion among these groups.
