<p>[Can</a> Google Predict the Impact of Racism on a Presidential Election? - Garance Franke-Ruta - The Atlantic](<a href=“Can Google Predict the Impact of Racism on a Presidential Election? - The Atlantic”>Can Google Predict the Impact of Racism on a Presidential Election? - The Atlantic) gives a measure of racism (against black people) by state, using search words put into Google by users in various states. (Note that some “north midwestern blue states” were found to have fairly high levels of racism, such as PA, MI, OH.)</p>

<p>The research paper, which tries to correlate that with the relative shares of votes for Obama versus other Democrats in presidential elections, is here: <a href=“http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~sstephen/papers/RacialAnimusAndVotingSethStephensDavidowitz.pdf[/url]”>http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~sstephen/papers/RacialAnimusAndVotingSethStephensDavidowitz.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>However, the results may not necessarily be the same with respect to racism against other groups.</p>
