Suppose there are 10 Black eligible voters. 7 are eligible to vote. 4 decided to vote. Now if Republicans prevented 2 from voting, how can Jones win?

Leftists can simple admit that Republicans preventing Blacks from voting is bullcrap.
By getting more votes. Not just the black votes.

Lets go with your 10 black voters thing.
Suppose there are 30 people who voted (4 of which are black and voted using your example), Jones gets 20 votes and Moore gets 10, if 4 of your 10 black voters voted for Jones, and we remove them, then 16 votes for Jones came from non blacks. Not enough to change the outcome.

Thats Moore 10 votes, Jones 16 votes

Since 16 > 10. Jones wins, without the black vote, add the 4 back to Jones total and you have Jones 20, Moore 10.

20 > 10.
Lets take it even further, suppose those 4 blacks voted for Moore. That makes it Jones 16 , Moore 14.

16 >14 Jones wins.

So that is how Jones could and did win.


None of which proves blacks werent wrongfully disenfranchised or suppressed anyway.
Democrats CANNOT win election without the Black and Hispanic votes. They cannot get more votes without the Black votes included. The loss of 20% of the Black votes is enough to devastate the party.
Kate Steinle was separated from her family permanently but leftists didn't seem to mind.

And the GOP can't win without the angry white contingent. So we keep stoking the brown people taking jobs angle and the secret Muslim terrorist behind every bush angle

After Moore made the comment about the last time America was great was when we had slavery, the surprise is that 2% of black voters, voted for him.

I guess they must have accidentally pushed the wrong button or something.

My thoughts are that you're not a very intelligent person. I say this because for your challenge to have meaning, 100% of the black residents in Alabama would have had to be registered to vote and 98% would have then had to vote for Doug Jones.

But that's hardly true. There are those who aren't eligible to vote for one reason or another, perhaps they're too young or perhaps they've recently moved to Alabama. Of those that are eligible, some percentage still aren't registered, sometimes because they can't register to vote because of road blocks put in their way by the Alabama legislature. And of those who do manage to register, a certain percentage simply didn't vote at all.

So, 98% of blacks did not vote for Doug Jones. 98% of blacks who are registered voters and decided to vote in the special election, voted for Doug Jones. And that is probably closer to 20% or 30% of black Alabama residents than 98% of all black Alabama residents.
I concur with your assessment.

You're the one who apparently can't do simple math.

Observe. About 38% of Alabama's registered voters turned out to vote. That's by all means available, not just the percent that showed up at the voting booths. The total number of votes cast was roughly 1.16 million votes. Of that, blacks cast about 29% of the votes.

Black turnout was unusually high, given that they represent only 26% of the population, but cast 29% of the votes. This means that out of 1.16 million votes, blacks cast approximately 336,400 votes, 329,672 of which were cast for Doug Jones.

Alabama's population is 4.8 million. Since Alabama is about 26% black, that means the black population of Alabama is 1,248,000, but only 336,400 of that population voted in this election. Or about 26% of the entire black population.

If more blacks could have vote, the odds are pretty good they would have voted, they were that motivated. Now, you tell me why more of them didn't vote?

Better question is why didn't they complain if going by what you said, why didn't more Blacks vote. You are assuming more Blacks did not vote because the Republicans prevented them from voting. Let's see them proof that the KKK, neo Nazi, or white supremacist groups colluded with the Republicans.

The Alabama Senate election is shining a national spotlight on Alabama, and not in the most flattering way.

Almost as soon as voting was underway on Tuesday, civil rights groups began receiving hundreds of complaints of voter suppression, and residents and reporters took to social media to report tactics used to intimidate minority voters or force them to cast provisional ballots.

You got a source from Al Jazeera for the hat trick?

Leftists are so predictable. As soon as they lose an election, racism cry follows. But if they win, no irregularities. Wanna know why? If the election commission conducts an investigation, the outcome would change. That's why you jever hear leftists complain about voter's intimidation when they win. Remember those pesky Diebold machines in 2000 & 2004? Funny leftists have no complaints about the same machines they labeled fraud when the outcome was in their favor.

Oh please...OP and Raider put out very extensive and detailed statistical analysis..irrefutable analysis by the way...Drudge's response..double down on the quaint "simple math" quips which didn't in any way refute the analysis given.

There is no shame if Drudge doesn't get it...I'm no wizard when it comes to statistical analysis myself at all..but I can tell Drudge moving the goalposts twice in this page...that kind of simple math is evident.

If you don't understand something, you don't put up a front of knowing then mocking said analysis as if you know it's wrong from the get go.

I'd have more respect for Drudge if he had just said...."not sure how you came to it, can you run that by me again...I want to understand you, but I'm having a rough go at it"
