Alabama Exit Poll Breakdown by Race and Gender (Original Post)

(50,949 posts)1. Problem with an exit poll like this is that it won't distinguish the people who
know enough not to want to look like bigoted assholes, but when they get behind the curtain they vote like bigoted assholes.
And that only ever goes in one direction. (Like you won't get people saying they WILL vote for Moore who then go into the booth and don't. But you WILL get people who say they WON'T vote for Moore and then go into the both and vote for him.)

(50,949 posts)4. I do. In the end, I bet it's not as close as they are saying it will be. And Moore will win.

Without people of color, especially women of color, this country would be completely lost.
I'd probably get a hide if I said what I'm thinking about my fellow white people right now.
