But baffling Democrats42 is the fact the three-term Democrat Senator Bill Nelson (an old, rich, white man) outperformed former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum (a black man). Nelson won 43,000 more votes than Gillum, but where he won them is astonishing. According to exit polling, while 90% of black voters cast ballots for Nelson, only 86% voted for Gillum.
In Gadsden, Florida’s only majority black county, and in the five counties with the highest percentage of black residents, Nelson outperformed Gillum by thousands of votes. It was former Congressman Ron DeSantis’s strong showing among Hispanics and men, and Gillum’s (relatively, compared to Nelson) lackluster showing with black voters, that likely cost Gillum the governor’s mansion.
In Georgia, the race was not quite close enough for Democrat Abrams to steal a victory over Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp, though not for lack of trying. Abrams found a friendly judge on Election Day and forced polling stations in several heavily Democrat counties to stay open four hours past the legal cut-off. Another judge, violating his judicial oath to uphold the law, barred counties from disqualifying ballots with signature mismatches. Abrams also filed a lawsuit attempting to force counties to count illegal, fraudulent, and inaccurate ballots.
Her efforts nearly paid off, but in the end Kemp’s margin of victory was still large enough to withstand Democrat dirty tricks and co-conspirator judges.
Democrats have manufactured a variety of sore-loser excuses43 to explain these losses. Showing an utter lack of class, Abrams refused to concede for nearly two weeks after the election, even when it was clear there was no mathematical path to force a run-off. In her concession she slammed Kemp, claiming Georgia did not have a “free and fair election,” and promising lawsuits, which she filed this week44.
She was joined by two-time presidential loser Hillary Clinton, and Democrat Senators Cory “I am Spartacus” Booker and Sherrod Brown, among others, in claiming the election was stolen, claiming (what else?) racism and systemic voter suppression, despite the fact that everything Kemp did was required by state law.
This is an interesting tactic to use considering that under Kemp, Georgia voter registration hit a record high of nearly seven million, including more than a quarter million new registered voters since April of this year, the majority of those coming in counties won by Abrams. There is also the fact that in the 2018 midterm elections, Democrat Abrams lost her race for governor with more votes (1.9 million) than current Republican Governor Nathan Deal won reelection with in 2014 (1.3 million).
Notice a pattern? Democrats seem to think electoral victories are theirs by birthright, and any time a Republican wins it must be racism or voter suppression or some other nefarious machinations.
That’s why you get Washington Post articles with language that would be considered hate speech if the races were reversed45. Columnist Vanessa Williams, commenting on the Georgia governor’s race, wrote, “White female voters in Georgia showed little interest in helping black women fulfill their dream of electing Stacey Abrams as governor, which would have made her the first African American woman to head a state in the nation’s history. … But another group of voters also raised eyebrows for how they voted in the race. … Black men voted for Kemp at a higher rate than black women, according to exit polling, a data point that drew gasps and rebuke on social media and news commentary.”
In 1850, Democrats passed the Fugitive Slave Act, requiring law-enforcement officials to arrest runaway slaves and return them to their owners. Today, Democrats think they own the votes of black Americans and are outraged when black (or Hispanic, or Asian, or women) voters flee the modern Democrat poverty plantations and vote Republican.
Under President Donald Trump, black Americans are thriving; black unemployment hit historical lows, with 1.2 million more blacks employed under Trump than Obama. Black home ownership is on the rise. And despite the Leftmedia’s hilarious attempts to deny Trump credit46 for the rise in black prosperity, at least some black voters have taken notice that their lives are much better under Republican policies than Democrat.
And that terrifies Democrats. If a 4% swing in black male votes from Democrat to Republican was enough to cost them Florida’s governorship and U.S. Senate seat, imagine the dire straits they would find themselves in if the black vote for Republicans rose to 15%, or 20%! It would be devastating for Democrats, who rely on race, sex, and economic divisions for electoral victories.
Blacks across America suffer most when living in Democrat-run cities like Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, and St. Louis. Blacks thrive under Republican policies47. Hopefully more will realize that truth and let their votes reflect it.

OPINION IN BRIEF
Byron York: “The story of the Secure Fence Act is a perfect example of why so many Americans distrust their government. In 2006, an election year, there was a bipartisan consensus to pass a law requiring the construction of a border fence. In 2007, after the election, there was a bipartisan consensus not to enforce it. Still, Public Law 109-367 remains on the books. And it still calls for a border barrier. … Obviously, the Democratic Party has moved far to the left on immigration in the last 12 years. Many, if not all, of those Democrats would now oppose what they once supported, especially if Donald Trump wanted it. So any fight on a border barrier would be uphill for the president. But masses of migrants are pushing toward the border. And even when the caravans are gone, illegal crossing of the border is still common. There is a law on the books that could strengthen border security. Why wouldn’t the president try it?”
SHORT CUTS
Insight: “What is education? Properly speaking, there is no such thing as education. Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. Whatever the soul is like, it will have to be passed on somehow, consciously or unconsciously, and that transition may be called education. … What we need is to have a culture before we hand it down. In other words, it is a truth, however sad and strange, that we cannot give what we have not got, and cannot teach to other people what we do not know ourselves.” —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936)
For the record: “President Trump thrives on controversy, so he intentionally provokes it. No one can look at his conduct, his word choice, his Twitter feed, and come to any other conclusion than Trump stokes the fire because he loves the fight.” —Peter Heck
Narcissist-in-chief: “By the way, American energy production — you wouldn’t always know it, but it went up every year I was president. And that whole, ‘Suddenly, America’s, like, the biggest oil producer and the biggest gas…’ That was me, people. … Just say ‘thank you,’ please.” —Barack Obama (“The boom in production almost exclusively took place on state and private lands where the Obama administration had little to no control.” —The Daily Caller’s Michael Bastasch)
Of course — you’re a Democrat: “Not only did I not get indicted, nobody in my administration got indicted, which, by the way, was the only administration in modern history that can be said about. In fact nobody came close to being indicted. Partly because the people who joined us were there for the right reasons.” —Barack Obama
Braying Jackass: “By the time I take office, what you increasingly have is a media environment in which, if you are a Fox News viewer, you have an entirely different reality than if you are a New York Times reader.” —Barack Obama
Alpha Jackass: “F—k bipartisanship. Republicans are bad. They have bad morals and bad ideas. The goal should be to eliminate them utterly as a political movement and then allow a center-right party to move into the vacuum which has basic skills like arithmetic and not being racist.” —Think Progress’s Ian Millhiser
And last… “The genius of capitalism is it’s the only system that doesn’t rely on anyone’s benevolence — which if you’ve ever dealt with people, you realize we’re only capable of that in sporadic bursts.” —Frank Fleming
