Moore was innocent. He was and is not flawed. It was the media, lamestream leftists that they are, that made Moore appear flawed.

The suits for libel and slander will come. Against the women who falsely accused him and against the media who report these falsehoods.

How could anyone who fought to keep the Ten Commandments posted at a monument ever be accused of all this trash?

Think!

About 70% of eligible voters in Alabama are white.

About 25% of eligible voters are Black.

The fox news poll yesterday giving jones a 10% lead came from nowhere. It was to give plausible credibility to rig the tally. A Moore win was never going to happen.

In every election there are votes that trickle in for a couple of weeks, such as military votes from overseas, and various contested votes. All must be counted before certification by the SOS.

What are AL rules for statewide elections on what votes can still be counted?

No, I don't expect 21,000 votes but I do expect that “100%” isn't really 100%.

And a story was posted by the cheap SOS of Alabama that they would not be keeping digital copies. Or did that come from a dem judge?

He’s on record of having first seen his wife when she was 15/16 and said he knew she would be someone special in his life. Granted, he didn’t marry her until she was 24 and in fact didn’t see her in the meanwhile but still, 30 something and says he knew the 15/16 year old was going to be someone special in his life. That bothers a lot of people, like people who have teenage daughters. All those people stayed home today.

The fact that he was attracted to his wife when she was a teen and he was 30ish makes the allegations quite believable.

They're still counting votes!

Moore spent the last decade fighting the federal government from his bench. Fighting both republicans and democrats.

This was what happens to people who fight the power of the establishment.

Moore maybe contesting the election. I read that Moore is demanding a recount.

Mitch McConnell is and always has been running for senate minority leader, so he doesn’t have to actually do anything.

This is why the people of Kentucky need to make sure he is an x-senator.

If he and the other senate RINO’s had not jumped on the evidence-less claims and done everything in their power to help the democrats defeat Roy this would never have happened.

If we can lose in Alabama we will lose everywhere as long as we have ‘friends’ like Mitch and Mitt Romney.

They need to be thrown out of office, and kicked out of the party.

Indeed the mere claim to have gained a ‘moral victory’ by surrendering a senate seat and distrying a man’s reputation on the basis of a few unsubstantiated claims that mysteriously never showed up before even thou they are all 40 years old.

Is not merely grossly unfair and unjust, its madness. Theses RINO’s including it seems Ted Cruz need to be kicked out of office there can be no justice under men who presume guilt without evidence, much-less fair a trial.

No offense, but you are delusional if you think he was innocent. Moore had the friendliest possible interviewer in Sean Hannity, and he came across as guilty and equivocating. Moore is a loser, and a liar. Trump said to vote for Strange for a reason, do you think Trump is some sort of GOPe sellout?

“It was the made-up creepy sexual history......”

“Yes, back in 1977 Roy Moore did ‘this’ to me and I’ve never been the same.”

- Find 5-9 women to make the accusation

- Fund the opponent

- Withdraw support

- Blame the president for not having the requisite political clout or acumen

- Continue undermining the MAGA agenda

They have their strategy down! By the way, after today, we will never hear from these ‘sexual victims’ again.

Bama was played!

write ins and sit outs. they deserve what they get but we - the country should not have to be penalized by their emotion based choices to write in or sit out instead of using their God given right and ability to have a vote and voting for a candidate who actually had a chance to win (not mickey mouse, etc)

Doesn’t add up so what can we conclude:

1) This was not solely a Democratic coup, but aided by the GOP establishment BUT will be a Democratic strategy going forward.

2) At last 12% of Alabama voters decided to be a jury against Moore.

“That’s why we need to run impeccable candidates who are conservatives.”

You’ve go to be kidding me, they can make up dirt on anyone and with the control of the media blast it 24 hours a day.

Sorry Alabama fell for this BS.

And where do you think they come from, they just magically appear out of the ether?

Elvis met Priscilla when she was 14 and he was 24...they courted for eight years.

Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin!! Yikes!

As many have said, it was customary in this country up until the mid-1900’s, for men to marry much younger women. And, even later, in the South. Small, lightly populated farm towns, not much social life or scene. Closest neighbors could be a few miles away.

The fact that he didn’t even see her between her age of 16 to 24 proves that he wasn’t a sicko perv/predator, like Frankengroper.....like the media (as well as many, here) have made him out to be.
