If they would get out and vote they would. Plenty of black politicians in the south. Would be more if they would take the time to go to the polls.
I'm speaking strictly in terms of presidential elections. Even with sufficient representation, it means nothing when all EV go to the winning party on the national scale. I really can't understand the benefit of that whatsoever. A winner take all state is like electing a president by popular vote. It is not representative and inflicts the will of the state you live in on the minority, so essentially in certain districts, they have zero voice in the process.
