Russias 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 Clintons 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.

LOL, IF Russians were as good as Mueller seems to think, Congress would be passing laws allowing American politicians to hire Russian citizens to run their campaigns.
Why spend over a billion dollars when you can hire Russians to do the job for a few thousand bucks?
As JFK’s father supposedly said (paraphrased): “I want to buy a win, I don’t want to buy a landslide.”
Hillary likely bought a lot of votes. Unfortunately for her, she bought a landslide in a couple states - forgetting that it’s an electoral vote, not popular vote, that wins.
LOL.......get a lot of bang for your buck.
So Buzzfeed is saying that African Americans are stupid?
That’s racist.

I once had a statistics professor who was very liberal but had a strange addiction to the truth.
Referring to the Nixon-Kennedy debates during the 1960 campaign, the prof said that those who watched the debates on TV concluded that Kennedy won, but that those who listened to the debates on radio concluded that Nixon won the arguments.
Interesting, no?
Big clue on where Mulehead is going came today when he said that the Russian interference came well before the 2016 campaign, indicating he’s going backwards to Cankles, not forward to Trump.
Get back to me when blacks don’t block vote as a race.
I call BS.
For the Presidential Election the State I live in (Alabama) had a high Black turnout, and a whole bunch of them admitted on tv (in local interviews) that they did NOT vote for Clinton, that they did not like her...Russia had nothing to do with it.
