Black Coffee Talk on WAMR-DB  Nov 4 2016 the  early voting closes. This week show: A continuation of the open discussion of black history's impact on Decision 2016

African-Americans are failing to vote at the robust levels they did four years ago in several states that could help decide the presidential election, creating a vexing problem for Hillary Clinton as she clings to a deteriorating lead over Donald J. Trump with Election Day just a week away Democrats feared might materialize without the nation’s first black president on the ticket.

 In North Carolina, where a federal appeals court accused Republicans of an “almost surgical” assault on black turnout and Republican-run election boards curtailed early-voting sites, black turnout is down 16 percent. White turnout, however, is up 15 percent. Democrats are planning an aggressive final push, including a visit by President Obama to the state on Wednesday.
