Ferguson's voting precincts in St. Louis County. These precincts went 83 percent for Obama in 2008. A consistent subplot to the horrors in Ferguson over the past week has been a consistent sense of wonder at how a city that has, over the past two decades, become a majority-black community could have a white mayor, a majority-white city council, and an almost universally white police force. That wonder emanates from two simple facts: the city's population is more than two-thirds African American, and the voting precincts that make up the greater Ferguson area are overwhelmingly black and Democratic.
Comment on Ferguson's election turnout is terrible by design. Here's how to fix it.
