Abbott won the women vote. He won the white women vote but lost the black and brown women vote.
Nobody says that it’s unfair to call the football team with the most points the winner because they were outscored 3 out of 4 quarters.
A win is a win. Suck it losers.

Now that you mention it, I don’t think I’ve seen a poll like that either.
Good one!
“African-Americans (93-7)”
Automatons. You could not get 93% of white people to agree on anything.
"DESPERATION CITY" by Salon.
Actually, this was FUN to read. You could hear the weeping, the whining, the gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes. Dang, it feels good!
All those Democrats failing to reach 40% of the vote was glorious
Let's call Jenny what she is - a liar.
