I don't know how true it is. Someone pointed out that the Black voters in Alabama are church goers and as much value voters as the White Christians (they were specifically talking about Black women, but I assume that applies to men as well). They didn't go for Jones because they necessarily wanted to elect a Democrat, they went against Moore.Dave_LF wrote:That's true and maybe interesting, but it's just one of a bunch of different stories you could tell based on different breakdowns. e.g. Moore would have won by a landslide if it were up to voters who describe themselves as "very conservative" (I assume), therefore it's the moderate and liberal Republicans who are to thank. Is this story more true or meaningful than the other?yovargas wrote:I don't see how any of that stuff changes the basic fact that if it was up to the white voters, Moore would have won by a landslide.
It would be interesting to see how the Black voters describe themselves in terms of party preference or general progressiveness.
