j reacts to the intersection of voter suppression laws, race and exit polling

finally!

this is the actual story. i've been yelling about this for months.

i can't believe that it took fucking nbc to get it right.

clinton slays amongst older people of all demographics, while sanders dominates amongst young people. but, young blacks are simply not voting. this creates the illusion that sanders is doing poorly amongst blacks. but, if young blacks were participating at the same levels as young whites, the numbers would be far closer.

so, the real question is: why aren't young blacks voting? is it about not having the right kind of id? feeling disconnected? not having time? just a lack of awareness?
