South-Central Voters Went 60-100 Percent in Favor of Failed Los Angeles Sales Tax Hike on Tuesday's Ballot

It was an extremely low-turnout election, but looking at the map of Tuesday's voting demographics, the communities of South-Central Los Angeles sure aren't defying Mitt Romney-style stereotypes of governmental dependency.
