Did people not vote for Vallas just because they saw him as a "White Male"? I ask this question because it's a narrative Johnson peddled the ENTIRE campaign. He literally accused Vallas of being a racist in multiple debates/forums. It was a gross tactic, but it probably worked for several "progressive" voters.

after looking at the results map its obvious that the wards that suffer the most from violence voted for BJ. While Vallas highlighted crime and violence the most out of the two candidates, i wouldnt be surprised if alot of voters just saw through his fluff and deduce that in actuality his plan to combat violence either doesnt have alot of substance, or they've seen it before with not alot to show for it. I think you should give voters down there more credit than what youre giving them, though im sure alot did vote along racial lines.
