| Source: Data for 2004-5 compiled by David Lublin. Data for 1992 from: Lisa Handley, Bernard Grofman, and Wayne Arden, "Electing Minority-Preferred Candidates to Legislative Office" in Bernard Grofman, ed., Race and Redistricting in the 1990s (New York: Agathon Press, 1998): 31-7. | ||||||
| Note: Blank cells indicate an absence of any cases in either 1992 or 2004-5. The totals for each region may include some cases not included in the cells for individual states because of the lack of comparison cases. Some states included in other tables are excluded here because of a lack of data from 1992. | ||||||
