In response to "B2: Good. (Randolph County) -- nm" by Strongbad

One tidbit of information I learned today, just to add to the conversation.

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Aug 24 '18, 09:25

The county has 9 precincts
7 of the 9 were being proposed as closed/conslidated with the others.

Trump won 5 of 9 precincts over HRC in 2016.
All 5 of these precincts were in the 7 proposed closures.

Responses:

The county voted for Clinton +11, so I'd have to see a source for this info. -- (link) - Roger More Aug 24, 09:34 9
- Found it... the by polling booth location results at least. I don't know which ones faced closure except that one of them is Cuthbert Middle School -- (edited) - Roger More Aug 24, 09:38 7
  - OK, I have the data now. - Roger More Aug 24, 10:00 4
    - Thanks, and I agree with the bottom part of your IM. - Strongbad Aug 24, 10:09 3
      - 80% of people under the poverty line there are African American (1600 people out of 8000 total) so there’s probably not much “if” there. -- nm - Roger More Aug 24, 10:48 2
        
        I don't think it's fair to apply a national data point like that to a rural Georgia precinct where 86 people voted. - Strongbad Aug 24, 10:53 1
        
        Sorry, what national data point? -- nm - Roger More Aug 24, 11:20
  - Good info. Still looking for the complete list of closures - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:48
  - So, it's exactly what it sounds like. People who try to disenfranchise legal voters have committed treason and deserve imprisonment. -- nm - David Aug 24, 09:44
- I'm looking for it too. Will post what I can find. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:37
