Voted : Yes. I think it's switched, and I will say why in comments
It's happened over a period of decades. Democrats were the conservatives in the 19th century. The New Deal weakened the old party alignments, but FDR practiced coalition politics that included minorities and the solid south. African-Americans voted mostly for JFK, a Democrat, because of his support for civil rights. In decades after that, Southerners increasingly joined the Republicans.
Actually, the generalizations point the other way, typically those with money vote for Republicans, and those who are poor vote for Democrats. But I think more and more it's becoming a wash, except of course for blacks, who are still living with the same failed impression that voting Democratic somehow helps them.
