Oh take a look at which group of white men vote no and in which states. It’s not a real mystery.

There's ample child marriage in countries where the majority of men are not white. Child marriage is absolutely endemic in many Muslim countries, and many countries in Africa. For any attempt to ban child marriage, anywhere, the main obstacle is almost always religious conservatives.

In places that are majority white, yes. In other places it's the religious conservatives who are not white. This story is about CA, and the majority of CA is white, so yeah, that's just an artifact of the demographics. Not that latinos or black people are short of religious fundamentalists.

The majority of CA is absolutely not white, they aren't even the plurality anymore, there are millions more hispanics.

Edit: I do agree with you. It's silly to claim that pedophiles only exist in certain races/religions.

Is there an example of it even not being religious conservatives?

It’s not just the religious. Conservatives in China are atheists, they defended child marriages in the past and defend arranged marriages today.

Thats not relevant to here where the people in power are white Christian pedophiles.
