The slow reporting of Heavy DEM Counties with Large BLACK Populations is NOT AN ACCIDENT

[DemocraticSocialist8]

This always happens and it amazes me how no one says anything. All of the Republican votes are being counted so that they know how many of the black votes they don't want to count. All of a sudden we're going to start seeing blue counties come in, then we'll start getting reports about machines going down and all of a sudden the vote counting will stop and Moore will be announced the winner. Days after the election, the truth will start to come out.

Problem is, it's clear there are a lot of Dem votes left to be counted. Most of the votes left to be counted are in DEM HEAVY Counties.

I hope AL proves me wrong.

1. Small, rural areas always report first because they have significantly fewer votes to count

It almost always takes a while for urban areas, just because they're counting hundreds of thousands of votes compared to 2,000 for a smaller county.

7. +1, when this didn't happen with Florida I knew some shit was thick then DU went down ...

... they fuckin stole 2016.

2. If I had to bet I would bet with you on that one.

3. Okay but it's also due to the fact there's way more votes to count.

Take Clay County. They've got all their precincts counted. Moore won 2,586 to 985 for Jones.

Right now, in Jefferson County, home to Birmingham, only 83 of 172 precincts have reported and Jones already has 67,397 votes.

And that's with half the county left to be counted. It's much easier to count 4,000 ballots than over 200,000.

14. I'm thinking what you're thinking. n/t

4. lol

5. The people in the black precincts reporting the black vote are black no?

[Igel]

8. Yeah. The votes are counted locally and reported.

"They" number in the hundreds, if not thousands, and aren't too dissimilar from local demographics. A bit whiter, but (D) is (D) and (R) is (R).

[dlwickham]

10. not necessarily

the county reports the votes not the individual precinct

the people in the main county office may or may not be black

6. Probably trying to figure out how to skew the vote. n/t

9. This is realistic

and we know it

11. I was just mourning a little bit --

"they aren't going to let us win this," I was saying to myself.

MSNBC -- Kornake and O'Donnell -- have my hopes up a bit, but I fear you're right.

[Thrill]

12. Yup. Throwing away their ballots

13. I wonder if some polls are still open with

people who were in line at 7 o'clock?

The NYT is giving the advantage to Jones because mostly urban areas are left to report.

15. It's a form of liars poker.

You really don't want to report too fast or more "votes" will be found later. As FDR famously told LBJ after he lost his first senate bid."It's not enough to get the votes You have to sit on them too."

16. our party has a lot of people on the ground there watching out for voter suppression

The proportion of African-American voters in this election is higher than both of Obama's elections. Their vote really counts for something this time and they went all out for Doug Jones, who is very liberal for Alabama.

Doug Jones won. This is a stunning and glorious victory, and it will shock the shit out of the conservatives. They will claim that our side has cheated somehow. Black Americans are actually born in Kenya or some such BS.
