The year of voting Biblically (cont'd)

So apparently there's something in the Old Testament about not voting for the black guy...

Survey: Religion Affects Willingness to Vote for Non-White Candidate

A white voter’s interpretation of the Bible also affected the person’s likelihood to vote for a racial minority candidate. Those who held more literal views of the Bible were more unwilling to vote across racial lines, the survey showed. . .

The survey found that white voters who belonged to a predominantly white congregation were among the least likely of all respondents to say they would vote for a non-white presidential candidate.
