LA's Barrios Vote Big For Obama


Looking at some large predominately Latino Districts in LA County:

The inner city barrios probably voted something like 85-15 for Obama. Without right wing clergy tough on abortion and same sex marriage, it would have been better.

This comes from LA County Registrar Recorder Statement of Votes Cast.

Unincorporated Florence: Obama - 7,817; McCain - 654

Unincorporated Belvedere: Obama - 7,790; McCain - 1,068
