Since Twitter has so many users, it is easy to researchers to spot trends.

The following chart shows which areas had the most racist election tweets:

The greener the state, the more racist tweets its residents produced.

Notice the South and Midwest.

Here is how America voted for President in '12:

I guess I need to change the title. Looks like race was a motivating factor for many to vote Romney.

no way, they voted based on the detailed plans and clear position he had on the important issues

I think this was pretty obvious since Reagan.. TBH..

Race is just an added bonus to rant about.. Prior to this it was Hollywood elite, Draft Dodger, flip flopper, tree hugger.. ect..ect.. It's not about any of these things as they are just excuses that are used when there is no real platform or substance.

Do you not remember the last few elections.. These are the things the GOP called the previous Democrat presidents & their running mates..

The GOP always has some sort of name they can call the opposition to try to degrade them in the eyes of their base. It was just easier with Obama being black to use the racist card and things like their fav catch phrase of this last election being "put the white back in the white house".

The left just keeps it simple and calls the right wackos & relgious nut jobs..

I voted for a white guy.

**candyflip** · 11-12-2012, 03:34 PM

I don't see how race can even be an issue. He's mixed race. He's got all sides covered.

And you think race was not a motivating factor for many to vote for Obama?

If the same percentage of whites voted for Romney as the percentage of blacks voted for Obama, Romney would be president. But that's a story no one want's to mention when "race" comes up.

The same happens on the voting for Pop Idol, but the winner's race doesn't matter, they're just a puppet controlled by the same people
