Moreover, Black turnout in midterm elections (as well as the turnout of Hispanics and Asian Americans in all elections) has never come anywhere close to equally White turnout, with differences ranging from 5 to 25 points.

Bernard Fraga, @chriswarshaw.bsky.social, and I have constructed time series of turnout by race (and other demographics) at the national and state levels, 1980–2024. We find that Black turnout matched White in the presidential elections of 2008 and 2012 but has fallen precipitously since then.
