7. I accept that. I don't KNOW how they come up with the demographics for all elections...

I think some are not available.

I'm just saying there IS electronic data that can provide that, to some degree, with the advent of electronic voting.

I saw with my own eyes my precinct's voting online, so I know it was there for all to see, whoever cared. They didn't keep it online for long. I think one reason it was there so people could check and make sure their vote was recorded & recorded correctly.

How the Census would get the demographics, I don't know.
