Black voters in states like North Carolina are not showing up in big numbers yet, threatening Hillary Rodham Clinton’s push to cross the finish line ahead of Donald Trump.
Two sources told Secrets that in North Carolina, blacks have been slow to vote today.
At one Durham polling station, just 10 percent of the registered African Americans had voted as of noon.

And at another polling station, similar numbers of blacks had voted as of 1 p.m., according to a Democratic source.
Early black voting by blacks in North Carolina was already down 65,000.
Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign is amping up the pressure in Philadelphia urban areas to turn out the black vote, including radio call ins by President Obama.
