.@MSNBC ya'll progressive, right? I'm waiting on @maddow @chrislhayes @HardballChris @JoyAnnReid or @TheRevAl to put @jonallendc and @NBCNews in their place for how anti-blackness is embedded in his story, 2x white ladies voted for Jones, but w/o #BlackWomen, he would have LOST
The story is about all women. About the data: Black women who voted D accounted for 16.7% of electorate slightly down from Obama '12 and '08, which were both about 17%. White women who voted D jumped from 5.4% of electorate in '12 (4% in '08) to 10.5% 1/2

Jon this is a basic debate about comparing WITH or comparing TO.
#JeffSessions got more than 1.3M votes in 2008, a year you want to use for a benchmark. To me that makes your comparisons bunk because based just on the year 2008, the GOP candidate wins 2-to-1, whatchutalkingbout?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Raw votes from white women for Jones were about 139,000, based on exit polls x actual results. If they'd voted at '12 level, it would have been 72,000 votes. Jones would have won by 21,000 votes. Had black women matched '08 or '12, Jones margin would have been slightly higher 2/3

Again, you keep wanting to compare WITH presidential years? What is achieved by this? It is a classic obfuscation. At least compare with off-year elections AFTER a presidential year, howbouthat?
