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.

I replied to one of the first people to Tweet at me - if not the first - and have replied to everyone who has emailed me to discuss, rather than having a public debate with everyone who Tweets. “Women” includes women of all colors and was intended to. Black women were #1 demo 1/2

I understand...guess my interest was not to debate you; I'm not even here to say right or wrong, was simply wondering the data. In so much as being able to research it didn't appear voting block has necessarily changed. Was wonder the source

Here is Obama/Romney in Alabama in 2012 (via CNN). The big change is white women. Can’t know reason for all the change, but interviews suggest combination of Moore’s politics and the allegations against him. That’s not to diminish black women, the heart of Jones’ coalition.pic.twitter.com/7n64iSIZsN
