And Cenk Uygar is so pissed about it that he continues to claim that Latinos and Blacks didn't turn out in the GE.

Latino voter turnout was up and there was never even any faulty information to contradict that.

HRC did better than Obama did among Latinos in 2012, faulty exit polling not withstanding.

Black turnout was down from 2008 and 2012 but it was up from what John Kerry got in 2004, even though overall voter turnout was down from 2004.
