Russia’s effort to discourage minorities from voting for Hillary Clinton — described in a federal indictment released Friday — revives the mystery of why turnout among black voters declined so substantially from 2012 to 2016.
The indictment of 13 Russian trolls lays out a surprisingly sophisticated social media campaign to turn minorities, and black people in particular, against Clinton. Details of the campaign show that Russians understood both the significance of those voters in the election and the language of black social media. “Russians understood how important minority voters were to Hillary Clinton’s chances in this election. They were able to read the situation and say, 'If we demobilize this community, it could have enough of an impact,'” said Bernard Fraga, an Indiana University election expert who studied black turnout in 2016.

And did blacks turn out well enough in 2010 and 2014? Why not ?
WAs it all about BHO only?
Yes. 13 guys speaking broken English and clearly confused about culture outsmarted a billion dollar campaign backed by the world’s biggest news outlets against a reality tv host with a meager 8% chance of winning.
I doubt the super predators were excited to vote for Hillary. Nobody liked her.
Truth is, running an icy white bit*h who needs black votes to win is a serious, serious tactical error.
Just shows that Black folks are putty when faced with some Russian ads. Next question: should Blacks be allowed to vote since they can be so easily manipulated by the Russians?
(Message: Blacks should not be allowed to vote until they can demonstrate that they are smart enough to vote the right way.)
But I missed any reports where reporters were asking Blacks about Hillary before the election. Or asked in Black community why they rejected Hillary after the election.
They did not want the answer!
What about exit polls at the voting precincts?
THE MSM media has not reported why exactly HRC was not supported. Isn’t being a Democrat reason enough.
Hillary did not address this in her book What Happened did she?
She ever blame the Blacks for her loss? /s
She blamed a lot of people.
Hehehe...great line!
Amazes me how the MSM is still in denial 15 months after the election...It couldn't be that the DemonRats put up a flawed candidate who was nurtured and coddled by the vast majority of the media to believe she was the heir to Obungo?
Naw, it must be the Russians or global warming or the phase of the moon perhaps????
Leftist jackasses “Did Russians cost Hilary the election”?

I’ve noticed this as a common MSM propagandistic trick lately. An article headline is posited as a question, but their intent is to make a statement. It is perfect for an emotion driven and fact-free public.
“Amazes me how the MSM is still in denial “......
The MEDIA? What about the “Pants Suit Hag”? She’s still blaming everyone but herself. The American people saw know of her evil, historic record and didn’t want any of it so she LOST. End of story......
Can’t the media find anything of value or importance to write about instead of revisiting that crap?
No one’s ever explained (in my hearing) why the Russians would want a Republican president instead of a Democratic one.
It was Hillary’s skin color that caused Blacks to stay home.
Well there was enough voting multiple times to make up the difference
Because everyone knows that Black “church ladies” are computer nerds absolutely addicted to social media and totally positioned to be taken advantage of by Russian bots.
They - some % of the “black vote” - didn’t vote for Hillary when BHO won the Dim nomination in the primaries in 2008. Why would that same group vote for her against Trump, just ‘cause she was a Dim? No.
Buzzfeed - a Billary, Inc. organ
The lefties are really busy at spinning out these new/latest memes for how HELLary STILL lost.
They just can’t let their little Russia Russia go.
Once again for the umpteenth time: Why in h*** would the Russkies prefer the human dynamo Trump with his killer campaign schedule to the inept low energy dislikeable drunk Hillary who stumbled more often than Gerald Ford!!?
If Hillabitch had somehow won, Putin would have led her around like a puppet. He may be evil but he is diabolically smart and he knows that in Donald Trump he is contending with an equal. To encourage a Trump victory made no sense in Moscow.
I knew that no self-respecting black male was going to vote for Hillary Clinton. I was right.
