USA: Report: Black voters had mixed impact in midterm elections, USA Today (2010)

This article discusses a report published by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies on the midterm election in the United States. The report analyzes in particular the role of the votes from the African American community, who represented 10% of the electorate. In same races, the black votes were fundamental to secure a victory for the Democrats - like in Delaware, where they represent 22% of the electorate and 9 out of 10 voted for the Democratic candidate. In other races, however, the impact of the black vote could be contradictory: in Illinois, for example, the turnout was high (19%, nine percentage points higher than in 2006), but the Republican candidate won the Senate seat.
