Saturday Data: The black wing of the Alabama GOP

     The Election is just over a week away....will you vote a party line? Will White Republicans vote for young black Democrats? Will Black Democrats vote for older white Republicans?

Listen to the case of one black Republican in the Birmingham area. Meet Darius Foster, profiled on NPR.




Foster is a 33-year-old business consultant. He's been active in the GOP since he founded a lonely chapter of College Republicans at the historically black Miles College in Birmingham. He's been tapped by the Republican National Committee as a future leader.

The election on November 4th is the first time in Alabama history that no Democrat is running for an open U.S. Senate Seat. 

Alabama is one of seven states that do not allow early voting. What possible reason can anyone have for opposing that?

  1. Yesterday my wife and I voted early, in Frederick MD. Quick, easy. Lightning didn't strike us dead.
