I don't even know If I'm going to vote, but the thought of a Trump presidency is reason enough to cast a ballot. Also what about the local election, if I do go vote that's the real reason I"m going. Local is a huge deal.
Looks like voter suppression worked in North Carolina

Ready to get the election over. Just tired of the "paid" fonts for Hillary and the Donald spamming forums and websites trying to influence the vote either way.
To the people saying that the decrease in black turnout is due to Obama not being on the ticket, that would be persuasive if early voting results in other states/cities saw the same trend. The fact that black early voting is relatively on par or higher than 2012 levels in most other states means there is something different about NC. The concerted Republican push in the state to suppress black voting is likely a large contributor.

the suppression is there, but i really wonder if they just didn't want to come out for hillary clinton
this is interesting because it could really be a combination of both. hillary is, but obviously the republicans in that state are too, and their tactics were clearly effective to at least a degree
Why are you guys ignoring the comparison to Black voter turnout in other states in THIS election???
If this were just a case of people not being hyped for Clinton like they were for Obama, why didn't Florida, Georgia and Louisiana also see that reduction?

it looks like suppression to me
they need to do something about it. i dont live there
White liberals suddenly become interested in black issues/discrimination during election time. Of course the type of discrimination that involves voting and not getting jobs/housing/etc. We're nothing but props wheeled out every 4yrs to vote and wheeled back in again to be forgotten.

Cmon breh use some brain power , numbers are up in neighboring states, the whole point of the table is to illustrate that there is glaring evidence of something unusual going on in NC

you got a point.
But that's not enough data to say that. You have to look at the trends for a longer period of time.
Were they down in 2000, 2004, 2008? etc
Do people realize that there are other local position in office and question ballots that effects them?
LOL this is the TLR

Don't worry, they won't blame it on voter suppression, it's because of "low turnout". 
Republicans are constantly doing that type of shyt. Florida, Ohio, it never stops and no one ever truly makes them stop either. But that's part of the story they'll leave out. It'll be "Blacks didn't show up".
