<<, the spoiled ballots were concentrated in African-American sections of downtown Jacksonville. True enough, but those precincts have small populations so they don't make up anywhere near a majority of the spoilage. Fully 16,650 of the spoiled votes came in districts Mr. Bush carried by more than 2 to 1.>>

This paragraph appears contradictory. If the spoiled ballots in Afr-Amer precincts don't make up a majority of the spoilage, then the spoiled ballots can't be "concentrated" in African-American sections. Do they mean the %of spoilage is higher but the raw numbers aren't?

Poor choice of words or am I missing something.
