2 Education vs Turnout Weights
Turnout weights measured likelihood to turnout to vote.
3 Race, Gender vs Voting Republican
The purpose of this plot is to study whether gender was a key factor of voting in the 9th District. However, it appears that while race playaed a great role, except for Hispanic women who were somewhat less likely to vote Republican than Hispanic men, other races showed insignificant gender-based difference.
This is interesting because it studies whether within the same racial background, gender could swing votes, but we find that it did not do so.
