Let me kick the dead horse one more time. As I suspected, a study finds that African Americans as a group voted yes on Prop 8. in the same proportion as the general population in California. I have read many many accounts where "70%" of African Americans supported Prop.8 when in fact it was "70%" of African Americans who attended church supported Prop.8 which comports with the rest of the population. Therefore, the work needs to be done with all and in all religious institutions.

I knew this "70%" sounded suspicious after I took a look at the Secretary of State's website which gave details on which counties supported and defeated Prop 8. I used census data and voting information to figure that black people could not have made such an impact. Perhaps instead of getting bent out of shape, Prop.8 opponents should spend more time doing outreach to the majority of people who voted Yes on Prop.8 as this article suggest.

Would someone tell Andrew Sullivan to give up his campaign on "70%" of African American voters in California and refocus his energy on "70%" of religious voters.
