You aren't hallucinating. I deleted my post because I think I was having a "duh" moment of my own and hallucinating that the article said something that it did not. So I decided to take a Law and Order and sandwich break.
Now I've re-read part of the article and completely see what your initial post was talking about.
The article does seem to assume that demographics were the decision making factor for the average black, female, and (hypothesized to be for the) white male voter. And that of course won't account for every voter's decision making process but is an attempt to observe and predict a trend. As long as there is a trend to observe that more or less goes along with their predictions, the results of their "census" won't be messed up.
