How did blacks vote?
I thought Alabama had voter ID laws and Black folk couldn’t figure out how to get an ID??
That’s what the Dems keep saying?

i know how this game is played. Soros money came in, the right palms were greased and the machine swung into action.

The get out the vote machine. In the old days it was the Pink Sheet, passed out in the churches telling them how to vote.It may or may not exist today but that's where the word gets out. One of the places anyway.

The buses and door to door stuff happens too, when the funds are available. They were.

Whites nationwide are about 60-65% Republican now. Blacks are 90-95% Democrat. You think whites are the ones with a problem? See 1994 (I think) Washington D.C. mayoral election. If I recall from being in elementary school at the time, didn't the man who won as a Democrat get elected while being IN prison? He beat a moderate Republican female (from Greenwood, MS) in the process.

Let me re-emphaisze something. He was in PRISON.

If 100% of blacks voted for Jones, they still needed white people (both those that voted against Moore and those that voted write in)

Why do blacks get credit for voting as a block instead of white people getting credit for not voting as a block?

Liberal identity politics is disgusting

White people are holding out for their share of the Kools and 40's.

In fairness conservatives have their part to play in this. Conservative politicians go hard with the dog whistles to excite the white vote as well. Round and round we go.

Blacks were not the majority. 26%.
They constituted 30% of those who voted.
So many whites did vote for jones.

Sure. But around 75% of white men, and 68% of white women voted for Moore.

Because whites' voting preferences tend to be more equally represented across parties. We've known this for a while, although Kelly may have experienced her first election.

Now the real question is why is race such a powerful predictor, specifically the disproportionate differences of certain races even when controlling for other factors?

You are trying to compare straight up calling republicans Klansmam who want to murder blacks to fricking dog whistles, whateverthefrick those are.


This is the definition of blind partisanship
