The results of the 1993 mayoral Democratic primary and 1992 circuit attorney Democratic primary elections in St. Louis city provide the context in which to examine the racial composition of voters for black and white candidates. Information from the 1990 census is matched to the latest voting precinct geography, creating an aggregate data set on which regression analysis is used to compare votes for leading black candidates with votes for leading white candidates in these two elections. The authors' analysis indicates a willingness on the part of both racial subpopulations to ignore the race of the candidate. They conclude that election winners would have been different had cross-racial voting not occurred
