Talk:1999 Baltimore mayoral election

"split the majority black vote"
The common narrative around this election is that O'Malley only won because the black vote was split between Stokes and Bell. But look at the numbers: O'Malley got more than Stokes and Bell combined. Even if some single hypothetical black candidate had emerged and gotten the combined vote totals that Stokes and Bell got, O'Malley still would have won. --Jfruh (talk) 22:19, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
