In Missouri, black turnout rose from 5% of the total turnout in the last election to 12%--not enough to keep the state out of Bush's column but assuring the election of the late Democratic Senate candidate Mel Carnahan (his widow will serve his term). Blacks in Tennessee, says political scientist David Bositis, "can't be blamed" for the Vice President's loss of his home state. Their share of the turnout leaped from 13% to 18%.
