mississippi’s special election is taking place in one of the most racially polarized states in the country - interactive display

Voters in Mississippi are honored to finally finish 2018 midterm elections next Tuesday, assuming several remain
By that time, the excellent house competition was over. (
It is not necessarily a fair assumption. )
There were no current senators on election day. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R)
Not challenger Mike Espy (D)
Winning a majority in the competition in the state's Senate means a final day of voting is needed to push the two candidates over 50% points. Hyde-
Smith made several serious mistakes before the run-off, including comments that he was willing to sit in the front row of public hangings --
This is a serious reminder for many people that the lynching heritage of their country is particularly bad.
Considering the suggestion that Espy is black.
But it's still Mississippi, which means Hyde.
Smith has an obvious advantage because she is a Republican. red state.
Steve Kornacki of MSNBC added another interesting data to Hyde --
Smith expressed support at a meeting on Wednesday.
Espy may need some white voters to win a runoff, he noted (
Because the state has more white voters than black people)
But Mississippi sees a huge gap in party loyalty between white and black voters.
White voters in Mississippi vote for Republican and black voters
More than most other states.
It's an interesting question of party loyalty by race and country.
In 2016, during the presidential campaign, only a few states voted to withdraw, but even differences were evident.
In California, white people voted more Democrats than Republicans, but did not reach the level of black voters.
South Carolina is the widest state in the Bay of the year, with 136 kilometers.
The difference between white voter preferences for Republicans and black voter preferences for Democrats.
To make his point, Kornacki has been checking the export vote since 2012.
However, we can also conduct polls on each state from 2004.
In some states, the black population is too small to count.
But that year, none of the states had a bigger disagreement than Mississippi, where white people preferred the Republican Party (George W. Bush)
Black voters prefer Democratic candidate John F. Kerry by 80.
In 2012, the bay was bigger, with 171-
The difference between the partisan preferences of all races in the state.
It is important to note that it is usually recommended that people get results from the ethnic groups in the exit polls with a grain of salt.
Here, however, we compare Apple to Apple, at least in the election.
Ethnic and National partisan issues are interesting across the country.
We pull data from four polls.
2004, 2012 and 2016 and 50-
The Post and SurveyMonkey conducted a state poll on 2016.
And interactive shows how white, black and Hispanic voters choose presidential candidates every year.
The deeper blue or red, the more groups that support Democratic or Republican candidates.
A few things stand out.
First, the density of white people voting for Republicans seems to be closely related to the overall performance of Republicans.
For example, the Dark Red Army in the South and Plains.
Another reason is that the density of these colors will change over time.
Look at states in the Midwest, such as Ohio, Wisconsin and Missouri.
Turn to a more intensive Republican vote among white voters
Even between 2004when Bush won)and 2016 —
Is an important part of the current political story. A third?
Hispanic support for the Democratic difference.
In 2004, Hispanic voters in several states were seen as supporting Bush rather than Kerry, a controversial finding that helped push Bush from Hispanic to close-record levels.
But look at Mississippi and its neighbors again.
From bright red among white people to dark blue among black voters.
This is the difference that Kornacki pointed out --
It's a problem for Espy.
Of course, the Bay of Alabama was also large last year.
Republicans who nominated Roy Moore as senator finally lost the game. Hyde-
Smith is not politically toxic like Moore (if anyone is)
But the problem remains: the racial divide is not fate.
