The election needs to be carefully analyzed before passing blame. However its obvious that the opposition from the republican establishment was the deciding factor. Are you part of the republican establishment?
One would have to be an idiot to not know that the Republican establishment was against Moore. They were quite vocal about it. They got what they wanted. I am referring to voter fraud and how everyone latches onto that as a reason for losing an election.
It will be interesting to see if he can document voter fraud and irregularities, errors in recording totals, etc. I’m sure there are over 20,000 to be found but will they all go in Moore’s favor? Will it be enough?
It would be hilarious if Moore “Al Franken’ed” his way into the Senate.
[Will it be enough?]
Has the military vote come in?
Probably very few military votes. No, if there is missing or errors, it is in the reported and documented counts. If they used corrupted machines, it will be impossible to root out.
I strongly suspect the fraud was larger than the margin of loss. That doesn’t matter - all evidence was destroyed by court order. The establishment successfully stole that election. [Our mistakes included, among other things, not getting out the vote to make our margin of victory larger than the potential margin of fraud.]
That is exactly right.
Precisely. This isn't Moore's first statewide election defeat. He also failed to win in his two attempts at becoming governor:
2006In the 2012 election for Chief Justice of Alabama, he beat his Democratic opponent by about 3.52%. The underage partner scandal completely erased the small margin of error he had. Now, this wasn't such a big deal back in the day. But it is a big deal today. Life isn't fair, and in politics, that goes double.In October 2005, Moore announced that he would run against Governor Bob Riley in the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary.[143] Moore's campaign relied largely on his popularity among Christian right voters.[143][144] However, Moore consistently performed poorly in polling and in fundraising.[144]
In the June 2006 primary, Riley won the primary, 306,665 (66.6 percent) to 153,354 (33.34 percent).[145] Following such a major defeat, Moore accused the chair of the state's Republican Party of bias towards Riley and called on her to resign; he also criticized President Bush for praising Riley's administration. His criticism of the state Republican Party was so harsh that he eventually had to call a press conference to quell rumors that he would run as an independent if he lost the Republican primary.[146] In his concession speech, Moore told supporters that "God's will has been done." Moore did not call Riley to concede and refused to support Riley in the general election because of Riley's acceptance of campaign contributions from political action committees.[146]
2010
In 2009, Moore launched another campaign for governor of Alabama in 2010 election.[147] In the first round of the June 2010 Republican primary election, Moore came in fourth place with 19.31% of the vote, behind Bradley Byrne (27.89%), Robert J. Bentley (25.15%), and Tim James (25.12%).[148]
The heartening aspect of this loss is that Moore lost on his own. Trump couldn’t put him over the top, but Moore is a man who, in 2012, beat his opponent for Chief Justice of Alabama by 3.76%. Mitt Romney, the guy at the top of the ticket in 2012, beat Obama by 22% in AL. Bottom line is that Moore beat himself.
Trump got 1.3 million votes in Alabama one year ago. Hillary got 700 000.
This year, Moore got 650 000 and Jones got 92% of the Hillary total.
What fraud made 650 000 Trump votes disappear?
I heard the Dems were threatening Moore voters that they would spread it around that they voted for a pedophile. Hence, 600,000 didnt show up. Should be a way to prove that if true.
Moore voters are intelligent enough to know that their vote is not made public. The purpose of that ad was to keep Democrats from voting for Moore.
when were Trump and Moore running against each other in the same election?
Yeah but transparency is always a good thing win or lose
The allegations against Moore were complete BS.
Good grief. There are not 20,000 irregular votes in Alabama, a state with voter ID requirements that's a conservative wish list and where every machination of government is controlled by conservative Republicans. For crying out loud. This is ridiculous.
That's comical right there.
Just please, stop.
