Alabama Megathread 4: A New Hope

Thank God for black people and black women in particular. The white "evangelicals" would vote for Satan (R) over Jesus (D) any day of the week as proven by this election. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Precisely this. I wish I could find all of those women and give them each a hug or cookie or something. They are the real heroes of this victory.

Honestly, thinking the religious vote is what sunk Moore more than anything else....

Snipping your post because, honestly... no.



This is the future of the Democratic party. We all need to be supporting black folks (and other minorities), especially black women, and encouraging them to run and doing whatever else is needed, election-time or not.

Odd that white men outnumbered white women so much in this election. Conservative women staying home?

I don't find it particularly odd. This man, by all accounts, harassed and molested women. Those who would have otherwise turned out to vote for him (white women) couldn't bring themselves to do that.

To go with my earlier post, here's a recap from someone who spoke to the Mobile County NAACP about what was done differently in this election via 2016.

Quoting here two of the points I find particularly important: "The state NAACP instructed its local branches to call every registered voter in the state who did not vote in 2016. The Lower Alabama chapter made it through the entire list successfully.

A dozen paid canvassers have been going door to door in the Mobile area all week. That did not happen in 2016"
