Turnout in Hall County for this year’s presidential election beat a high set in 2008, with about 78.5 percent of voters casting ballots compared with about 76 percent when President Barack Obama first took the White House. But turnout among Latino and African-American minorities did not materialize as strongly as Democrats had hoped. It’s a result seen in Hall, across the state and nationwide that was as significant to Republican Donald Trump's victory as was his support among white working-class voters.
