Wow, this is irresponsibly bad journalism. You're talking about women voters but only mention white women's votes specifically. You treat African American voters as a monolith but separate white voters by gender. This is so, so terrible.https://twitter.com/jonallendc/status/940867082501218309 …

98% of African American women voted for Jones; in politics, that is monolithic. I’ve written about the importance of African American women in elections before (http://www.rollcall.com/news/opinion/clinton-owes-her-commanding-lead-to-african-american-women …), and I will do so again. Last night, drop in white women’s support for GOP was more striking.

But more to the point, the story was about women of all colors rejecting Moore. The lede was not race-specific and the first data point was 58 percent of women (ALL women). voted for Jones. I broke out white women because they voted so differently than they usually do in Alabama.

If that was the story, why didn't you write that story? You wrote the "white women" story. If they were the only group worthy of breaking out, you didn't write the story "about women of all colors"

I think I did write that story. The headline is women, the lede is women, the main data point is 58 percent of women - all women. All that said, I understand your point and appreciate you making it.
