Roy Moore unwilling to concede: ‘It’s not over’
NY Post ^ | December 13, 2017 | 12:10am | David K. Li

GOP Alabama Senate Candidate Roy Moore refused to concede on Tuesday night and insisted more votes could still swing the race and save him from a stunning defeat to an underdog Democrat.

“When the vote is this close, that it’s not over,” he told supporters in Montgomery at his campaign rally shortly after Democrat Doug Jones already had been declared the winner by multiple news organizations and had given a televised victory speech.

With all precincts reporting, Jones had 49.9 percent and Moore 48.4 percent.

Moore quoted from scripture and told supporters to wait for all votes to come in – including provisional ballots and those cast by overseas military members.

“That’s what we’ve got to do, is wait on God and let this process play out,” Moore said. “But the votes are still coming in and we’re looking at that.”

Doug Jones: A pedo face if I’ve ever seen one.

All the concerned parents who voted against Roy Moore will soon have much more to worry about when there are even more hordes of illegals and Muslims running around raping their daughters instead. Real threat vs. Fake threat.

Nice job “Socialist Cuckservatives”.

Looking at the bright side, In 2018 the Democrats will have 23 seats to defend. The GOP will have 8. The GOP majority will grow in 2018. And grow more in 2020, when, as Impy put it, Jones joins Scotty Brownstain in the annals of Senate placeholders past.

Yep, Senator Shelby (R - Alabama) hurt Moore badly. His was the fatal cut.

Why? The following twitter thread is bitter, but absolutely true. Alabama fell for a political hit, and elected a far left asshole who stands against everything, everything they stand for. They let unsubstantiated lies keep them from doing what they should have done, which was to keep Doug Jones and his evil ilk out of the Senate.: https://twitter.com/ThomasWictor/status/940853280414027776

Wrong. For years, Roy Moore has had just enough support among conservatives to win a primary for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and then win a general election against a Dim. But he had lost badly in two gubernatiorial races and squeaked by in the Republican primary, special election for senator.

His support has been thin for years in statewide elections and many conservatives do not like Moore, and that was the case well before the sexual misconduct allegations arose.

I voted for him yesterday only to try and keep a Dim from winning the seat, but that is the only reason I voted for him. There were many who voted for Moore for similar reasons, but not enough. Moore was, and always has been a very flawed politican and it's unfortunate that a confluence of odd events allowed him to become the Republican candidate for senator.

Moore's own flaws and Mitch McConnel are the reason for Moore's loss.

As bad as Moore was he still would have won had the GOPe not actively campaigned against him and refused to run negative ads against Jones. Shelby’s Anti-Moore media blitz last weekend was devastating. Jones used it to run a state wide robo call against Moore. With “friends” like that who needs enemies?

I never thought he was a great candidate, so that doesn't surprise me.

The twitter thread I posted says it best. Alabama voters let someone in who hates their values, prompted by the shame of a political hit.

Without that coordinated hit, he wins by well over ten points, in spite of what you said being true.

Trump won the Alabama with 1.3 Million votes. Hillary had 720k. Sessions won his last election with the same number of Republican votes 1.3 Million votes and again the the Democrat got 700k votes. So that’s been the pattern....

However, this was the very first election with electronic voting machines.... The Democrat vote count was consistent, but the Republicans are missing over 600k votes or 50% of the vote??? This is even when voting turned out was heavy. Moreover, exit polls had Moore winning 4 to 1.

Don’t believe me look at the last three Presidential elections in Alabama. They been voting this way for almost 40 years. Generally 1.3 Million for the Republican and about 700k for the Democrat. Then all of a sudden tonight you have red counties go blue in North and South Alabama at the very first election with electronic ballots.

The best part is the Alabama courts ruled it was okay to erase the votes so you can’t do a recount too. Yes that really happened. They decided that right at Election Day. That way you can’t have a proper recount.

One word.... RIGGED

The District of Criminals Establishment stole it because they can’t win elections fairly. Their side has to steal and cheat in order to win.

GOP turnout was 50% less than 2016 and Democrat turnout was 92% more than 2016.

This is what election fraud looks like.

No, it’s what a bad candidate and one party throwing an election looks like.

The biggest element in Moore’s loss hasn’t been mentioned in our exhange. It is a reality that there are a significant number of conservative voters who will not vote for a candidate because of some moral consideration, even if the opposing liberal candidate is overall far worse. And that is not just in Alabama, but everywhere conservative voters exist.

Almost forty year-old allegations can’t be proved or disproved, but Moore never effectively refuted the allegations. The Hannity interview was a near disaster and he left little doubt that he did date girls in their late teens. It was a political hit job, but with the appearance of enough truth to cause some conservative voters, particularly women, to have enough doubt to keep them at home yesterday.

And there was a high turnout of black voters. Alabama will vote 60% to 65% for any good conservative candidate in a general election. It’s unfortunate that Roy Moore ended up being the candidate this time.

And if McConnell could have refrained from sticking his hose into Alabama politics, I don’t think Moore would have won the Republican primary.

It is true that Scott Brown wasn't even a speed bump for Ubama's agenda. More like having to pass someone on the highway.

I doubt this Jones will be than that for President Trump.

However, it has become as transparent as a window the establishment, deep state whatever you want to call them do NOT want President Trump to succeed. If that means sacrificing the GOP majority to do it? That is what needs to be done.

This has made me support President Trump even more and distrust the GOP even less.

He is already going to make hay out of this.

I know it.

So, how long do we stay this stupid? I'm sorry, but being a sucker for an obvious political hit that was a leftist lie is not a good reason to stay home.

You should read that twitter thread.

The left will continue to beat us if we don't change. Their capacity to be evil is almost uncontained. We need to understand how the enemy Alinskyizes us and how to deal with it. Alabama failed. It's how they win, it's who they are.

It’s NOT over until “the second Friday next after the election, at the hour of 12:00 noon,” when the vote count is officially determined.
