I'm just going to assume that every leftist who doesn't actually come out and say "Ohio was not stolen" thinks it was.

DaleC76:
 Amendment 2 was horribly, horribly worded:

“Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, to repeal portions of Section 256 and Amendment 111 relating to separation of schools by race and repeal portions of Amendment 111 concerning constitutional construction against the right to education, and to repeal Section 259, Amendment 90, and Amendment 109 relating to the poll tax.”


I haven't seen any numbers, but I bet even many minorities mistakenly voted against this amendment because of the confusing language.

Imagine if you haven't been following this and the first time you see it is in the voting booth.  You have to read this, along with 7 other confusing amendments while a large line of people is waiting behind you.  It's not surprising that about 30% of Alabama voters did not vote on the amendment at all.

I did some research on the 8 Alabama counties that have a Black population of over 60%.  Of these, 5 of them have Black populations of over 70 %.

Amendment 2 was defeated in one of them (Hale County is 60% Black and voted down the measure 55-45%).  Dallas County, which is 63% Black barely voted for the amendment 51-49%.  Wilcox County, which is 73% Black, only favored the measure 55-45%.

An amazing 60% of the voters in Bullock County (73% Black) did not vote at all on the amendment.  The same can be said for around 46% of Marengo County and about 40% of Dallas County.

African American turnout in Alabama matched its percentage of the population.

I can't help but believe the defeat of the amendment was due to people of both races not understanding the wording on the ballot.  A 15 to 20 point swing of African American voters being in favor of keeping racist language in the constitution is just too much for me to think that it was done intentionally.

Alabama needs a new constituiton.  The current one has 287 sections and about 750 amendments.  There were 8 constitutional amendments on the ballot this year.

I guess without paper trails, we'll never find out, will we?

An election is just as easy to steal with a paper trail.

Uh, Bush won the state by over 100,000 votes. There isn't going to be a recount; the Electoral College votes in a couple weeks.

The effect of the ruling is that a recount will still occur but probably won't be over before Ohio's electors meet Dec. 13th.

Completely meaningless.
