\begin{gathered} \text{ We have to find } \\ P(\text{Democrat}2020|\text{Democrat}1976) \\ \text{The conditional probability is the probability of the intersection divided} \\ by\text{ the total probability of Democrat 1976!} \\ \text{thus} \\ P=((12)/(51))/((12)/(24)) \\ P=(24)/(51) \\ \\ P=0.4705 \\ \text{thus the frequence is } \end{gathered}

Thus the frequency is 47.0%
