presidential election, the drop-off in these counties was a lot less, the drop-off was a lotlet less than you saw in the rural areas, the heavily white rural areas. black turnout was very strong. something else in this result it gave jones the win. i think it ought to worry republicans nationally, too. it is a continuation a bit of a trend we've been seeing in this trump era of the republican struggles in traditionally republican suburbs. let me start here in shelby county right outside birmingham. shelby kahne county is traditionally a republican bastion. also of all the counties in bm bam it has the highest concentration of four-year college graduates. this is a place where mitt romney got almost 80% of the vote in 2012. where donald trump got 73% of the vote in 2016. moore, he wins it, but only with 56%.
