Live Alabama Election Results: Roy Moore and Doug Jones Compete for Senate Seat
New York Times ^ | December 12, 2017 | MATTHEW BLOCH, NATE COHN, JOSH KATZ and JASMINE LEE

Alabama votes on Tuesday in a special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, now the attorney general. The last polls close at 8 p.m. Eastern. Strong support for Roy S. Moore, the Republican, is expected in rural, mostly white parts of the state and in its northern half. The Democrat, Doug Jones, aims to create a lead in the urban counties that include Birmingham and Montgomery, and across a band of largely black counties.

One critical battleground is a trio of smaller, whiter cities: Mobile, Tuscaloosa and Huntsville. Mr. Moore won a hard race in 2012 by keeping things close there. Mr. Jones hopes to win the cities by a convincing margin.

Well this is strange. With only Shelby county left, Moore was ahead by 6000

Now check out Shelby. http://www2.alabamavotes.gov/electionNight/countyResultsByContest.aspx?cid=58&ecode=1000915

Moore won Shelby by 9000

I don’t know how you check that.

If they go through the process, what can you do?

Were you able to detect any buses or other things out of the ordinary?

“Revenge is a dish best served cold.”

There has to be at least one “vulnerable” Dem senator in a state with a Pub governor, and you know, given the Dem mindset, many more misbehavers are out there...

Funny that you want to move south. Told hubby tonight that I want to leave this state after today. He said where do you want to go? I said, well Michigan sure has turned red.

Of course it was. Just like a Reagan style landslide was stolen from Trump. That’s why they have flipped out for over a year now. It was assured but they still lost.

No busses. Just a higher percentage of the turnout than usual.

Those machines should be checked in that county. Thousands of votes in a few county last minute sends up a huge red flag. This election was stolen.


Who’s going to approve that?

I think the AL GOP was 100% for Moore, in spite of all of the manufactured smears, etc. Maybe they’ll fight.

Make no mistake, I would have certainly preferred Moore to win ,but we are always behind the eight ball..to win we have to beat the other side ,half of ours,the media and try and win a percentage of uninformed voters and Independents.To sldo that we have to carefully vet our choices..is it fair ? no..but it is reality.

Jones is now officially Schu;mer’s b****.

Jones will just be a puppet for the Schumer/Pelosi puppeteers club.

He'll be voting according to how the puppeteers pull his strings. And that will mean that he's another vote against the Trump agenda. But that agenda will be helped greatly in 2018, when democrats will have 25 senate seats to defend to the republicans' 8. My guesstimate is that republicans will "win" at least 15 of those senate seats in contention, meaning that Trump will have an easier time getting his agenda passed.

This is why we post vote counts and timestamp. We can see which Democrat counties cheat their asses off. We love proven here on FR countless times. Cuyahoga county, Browrd county, and Philadelphia are the worst offenders. NOW Madison County Alabama.

Those number are very close.

Interesting to see how this all shakes out in the am.

If there are any outstanding mail in ballots things could get closer

“weren’t dems advertising for voters from other states to come in? they also hurried up to register convicts.”

There’s enough dem voter fraud that Moore would have won by 10% points despite the smear of ‘pedophilia’.

“Not proven allegations. “

They were plausible allegations, very poorly refuted.

And I don’t think Ryan or McConnell care a bit for the Trump agenda. This is their opportunity to stop it right here. The Senate was impossible before. Now there is no way for Trump to get anything...even nominees through it. They will insist on open borders and amnesty andthat he leave the Swamp be...if he wants anything.

Trump’s best move now is to go for stalemate for the next year - completely bind up government action on any major issue and govern by executive action on deregulation and man the border heavily for the next year. Use executive fiat because Congress will be impossible. Punt on the budget or anything requiring legislative action. Or trade DACA for something big. Let the economy help him. He’s going to have to fight a ton of rearguard battles.

Secretary of State. It’s called separation of powers for a reason. A judge has no power to stop him or her.
