Black Vote Crucial To Rimay Outcome In North Carolina
Results of a Voter Edu
cation Project (VBP)
study analyzing the May 8
presidential primary re
turns from 139 precincts in
North Carolina indicate
that the black vote was not
only crucial to Jesse Jack
son's strong showing, but it
also provided the critical
edge Walter Mondale
needed to beat Gary Hart
in the overall voting.
Hart, in fact. came in
firat by a very slim margin
among white voters. Ac
cording to the VEP study,
he received 39.8 percent of
the white vote, whereas
Mondale received 39.7 per
cent of the white vote.
Jackson received 8.6 per
cent of the white vote,
. which incidentally, is
slightly less than the 9.1
percent received in Ten
nessee in their May 1
primary. Mondale, on the
other hand, received 13.5
percent of the black vote
which was 15 times greater
than the 0.9 percent of the
black vote which went to
Hart. Jackson received
84.2 percent of the black
vote, with the remaining
1.4 percent going to other
candidates or uncommit
ted.
According to VEP’s
study, 46.1 percent of the
registered blacks voted,
whereas only 29.0 percent
of the registered whites
voted. The 59 percent
higher turnout among
blacks than among whites
helps to account for the
determinant role blacks
played in the primary’s
outcome. The black vote
was also crucial because
the crossover vote by
blacks was almost twice as
great as the crossover
vote by whites. And 15:6
percent of the blacks voting
cast their ballots for a
white candidate, whereas
only 8.6 percent of the
whites voted for the black
candidate (Jackson).
The VEP study also ana
lysed the source by race of
the support for each of the
three main candidate Hart
received almost all of his
support (07.8percenb from
whites. Jackson received
the overwhelming majority
(90.2 percent) of his votes
from blacks. )
