Hey guys... Just to be clear the total number of voters including AF-Ams were down compared to 2008, but the AF Am % of the electorate increased in 2016.

2008: 292,650, or 55% of the turnout. 2016: 226,410, or 61% of the turnout. 

Let me know if I can help.

>> Hey Jason, we have a request from the New York Times on what we’re doing to keep AfAm voters engaged. I remember you saying that turnout of African American voters in the Democratic primary was higher this year than in 2008. I thought we could use the SCDP as a good case study. What do you think?
