And so, it begins...

It was the biggest ...well, other than American Idol.

I'm glad my fellow Americans have something important to do on Tuesday nights... I sure as shit don't.

I can appreciate the Kentucky Derby - I've been twice - and all the trainers, owners, riders, horsies go through, but elections are fucking trash. Really, we need Thunder Dome.

Wouldn't matter.

9:05 a.m. Dec. 12, 2017: Late Monday night, the Alabama Supreme Court stayed the Montgomery County Circuit Court's order earlier that day directing Alabama election officials to preserve digital ballot images during Tuesday's Senate election.

All evidence would probably gone.

GOP senator calls on Doug Jones to vote with Republicans

"Tonight’s results are clear – the people of Alabama deemed Roy Moore unfit to serve in the US Senate,” said NRSC Chairman Sen. Cory Gardner. “I hope Senator-elect Doug Jones will do the right thing and truly represent Alabama by choosing to vote with the Senate Republican Majority.”

It's Gardner's job to elect Republicans to the Senate. He believed that Moore should be expelled from the Senate if he was elected.

Good luck with that.

How about a source that isn't a youtube video?

Give me a text source.

So I take it that someone can win a Senate seat in Alabama without a majority? Never been fan of plurality elections.

Meanwhile, somewhere in a shady backroom, Mitch McConnell, Bill Kristol, John McCain and Lee Busby celebrate another victory...

Something something terrific, something something the best; something something Make America Great Again.

Interesting.

The 1.7% that voted other than Moore or Jones could have made the difference either way. Interesting election night.

Trump endorsement = kiss of death

Candidates endorsed by Trump need to give him the finger, early and often!

They lacked intestinal fortitude.

...couldn't bring themselves to vote for either scumbag.

I like them best.

Looked it up. Nope. Wrong.


dallas county - population 41131
selma alabama - population 18963

dallas county votes
10,400
3,400


There were 14K votes in Dallas County. There is a population of 41K in Dallas County. It doesn't seem out of the ordinary, based on that.

And in another room, Zip, Rev, Superfluous, etc. celebrate as well. Cheers to them. Well played.

Last update I saw on the figures the write in votes were twice as many as the difference between Moore and Jones. I was under the impression that a significant number of those were Republicans who simply could not bring themselves to vote for Moore.
