You can make a wonderfully accurate algorithm for basic male/female name analysis. Race is tougher though.

Is it your understanding that they used a name analysis algorithm to determine what race of voters were discriminated against? I would've guessed they lumped it up and generalized by precinct.

I'm genuinely curious as to what methodology was actually used, because again, it's not on the voter registration form. So this data must've been extrapolated, cross referenced, or sampled somehow.
