County, according to turnout figures, heading to the polls at a higher clip than whites or Hispanics.
Lingering anger over the flawed 2000 election -- in which predominantly black precincts were overwhelmed with long lines and problems -- is spurring blacks to turn out early, voters and activists said.
More than 5,200, or 6 percent, of the county's black registered voters have cast early ballots, compared with about 5 percent of white voters and about 3 percent of Hispanic voters.
White turnout outpaced black turnout in Orange County by almost 5 percentage points during the 2000 presidential election....
Doug Head, chairman of the Orange County Democratic Party, said the county's high black turnout is more evidence of his party's early-voting advantage.
"We have a lot more Democrats voting early than Republicans," Head said.
