59. There is a lot of desire for pct-level demographic info
Which I unfortunately don't have. Several people are looking hard for this right now! I had two calls yesterday from people working in Cuyahoga County on these issues.

There is so much discrimination. I have heard that over half the people whose provisional ballots were rejected were at the right polling place, but wrong table (precinct)! Democratic challengers were not allowed to help them or direct them. Furthermore, around 20% *were* at the right precinct but their ballot was rejected for wrong precinct anyway. Analysis of these is still going on, but I have heard that most of the cases concentrate in Cleveland (51% black).

So to some extent the municipality can be used for a coarse approximatation to demographics.
