Inside Higher Ed: On Election Day, 64.7 percent of Californians backed Joe Biden (according to not-yet-final state figures). He won 8.9 million votes, 4.3 million more votes than President Trump. California is an extremely diverse state: 39 percent of state residents are Latinx, 37 percent are white, 15 percent are Asian American and 6 percent are African American, according to the 2018 American Community Survey.
Those same voters had the chance to approve Proposition 16, which would have restored the right -- taken away by a vote, in a less diverse California, in 1996 -- of public universities to use affirmative action.
