WASHINGTON—A Russian influence campaign ahead of the 2016 election used a range of social-media platforms to suppress African-American voter turnout and boost Donald Trump’s presidential bid, while relying more on Instagram than previously known, according to two independent studies released on Monday.
Like blacks needed some outside influence not to vote for a (R).
Now put on some critical thinking skills and ask your self why would Russians target blacks when they vote in the 90% range for a (D)? And also answer how did the Russians suppress the black vote using Twitter and other social media?
This should be good.

It’s almost like you don’t know what voter suppression means.
But before I do that... is there a difference between Russian propaganda and CNN, MSNBC, etc propaganda? Did we all forget that Clinton was fed debate questions ahead of time?
Google CEO Sundar Pichai testified on Tuesday that "ad accounts linked to Russia" spent "about $4,700 in advertising" to politically influence Americans during the 2016 presidential election season,
...
Executives from Twitter said in a statement that the Russian state media agency Russia Today spent as much as $247,100 in ads targeting U.S. markets in 2016.
Approximately $2.4 billion was spent advertising in 2016. This effort towards black people cost $351,000.
That $2.4 billion probably does not include Don Lemon, Wolf, Mika, Joe, and others bashing Trump regularly on their cable "news" shows.
The article also notes that Team Obama spent $350,000 influencing the elections in Israel.
As Nate Silver, the lead pollster at 538 noted, "What fraction of overall social media impressions on the 2016 election were generated by Russian troll farms? 0.1%? I'm not sure what the answer is, but suspect it's low, and it says something that none of the reports that hype up the importance of them address that question."

I had a typo error the sentence should have read outside influence not to vote for a. (D). Point being no matter what blacks are going to vote for the (d) at a 90% rate.
The (R)s barely even try to get the black vote so how did the Russians suppress the black vote with Twtter. Was it the Luke warm relationship blacks had with Hillary? Did the Russian trolls tweet that angle which is the truth?
I am just wondering the magic words the Russians used to turn away black votes from the (D) party.
Analysis: Who was responsible for black America's lackluster turnout?
Answer: Hillary Clinton. She wasn't liked any better by African Americans than she was by deplorable white Americans.
