DEMOCRATS HAVE MASSIVE TURNOUT IN 2017 SPECIAL ELECTION–

 

In 2016 Republican Donald Trump won Alabama with 62% of the vote.
Trump had 1,318,255 votes
Hillary had 729,547 votes

On Tuesday night Democrat Doug Jones defeated Republican Roy Moore in the Alabama special election for US senate.

In 2017 Democrat Doug Jones won the Alabama senate seat with 49.9% of the vote to 48.4% of the vote.
Democrat Doug Jones had 671,151 votes
Republican Roy Moore had 650,436 votes

Via The New York Times:

Republicans (Roy Moore) lost 667,819 votes — or 50% of 2016 vote

Democrats (Doug Jones) lost 58,396 votes — or .08% of 2016 vote

Democrat turnout in the special election — once they smelled blood — WAS ENORMOUS!

It’s 92% of who turned out in the last election. It isn’t that 92% of all registered democrats turned out. That isn’t that great considering the dem turnout in Alabama to vote for Hillary wasn’t that great. In other words 92% of low turnout is still low turnout.

The real story here is the absolute and complete voter depression of the GOP vote. They got less than half of a great turnout from 2016 and still barely lost.

It took a mammoth effort to depress the vote to this degree. And if wasn’t just GOPe shenanigans of throwing Roy Moore under the bus. It was Part I of the voter suppression plan by the GOPe. It was to absolutely sabotage the President’s agenda with the usual suspects (McCain, Collins, etc.) at the forefront.

I say again, all part of the GOPe (Rove) master plan to get rid of Trump. Lose in 2018, blame Trump and as a bonus get him impeached.

or is that 50% GOP stat after stacks and stacks of R ballots were ‘lost’ or destroyed ?

Is 50% a true number or an indicator of fraud?

[BeadCounter]

It makes one wonder how close some of these red states could have been. I figured if one lived in a state like Alabama in 2016 and one was a Democrat, maybe you just figured Trump would win by an astounding margin, which he did, by over 28 percentage points.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

92% turnout in a special election. That there’s just funny.

[BeadCounter]

Rand Paul endorsed and I never heard he withdrew his endorsement. Maybe he did.

I think if Trump goes the lead will start flying.

“Republicans cannot simply win, they must win by exceeding the Democrat margin of fraud.”

Thats why we say, and then again ...

Democrats don’t win by voting twice, they win by voting over and over until they drop — and then some more from the grave.

This is why it's probably a good thing that Moore lost. Had Moore won, this is the type of turnout many Republicans would have seen in November.

I despise the GOPe, and how they treated Moore, but that is not why Moore lost. Moore lost because of his stated belief that homosexuality should be illegal. There is a BIG difference between supporting traditional marriage, and believing that homosexuals should be jailed. That is just way to far off, for half the Republicans in AL, and probably 75% (probably MUCH more) of Republicans in the US.

Had Moore won, it probably would have cost the Republicans the House, and all of the pickups in the Senate.

Many a race has been won by a Republican by touting the Democrat as a member of the 'party of Pelosi', had Moore won, the Democrats would be doing the same, and touting every Republican as a member of the 'party of Moore'.

[BeadCounter]

“Yeah another Democrat with a “R” by his name.”

I hear that said but I think that is a convenient lazy argument.

He might be weak on something, I heard dreamers or gun control but per being pro-life, against same sex marriage, etc. he’s nothing like a Democrat. And I haven’t seen substantial info that he’s lenient on immigration or gun control.

[Jane Long]

What percent of the Dem ‘turn out’ was bused in and/or write in?

[Amendment10]

"Republicans cannot simply win, they must win by exceeding the Democrat margin of fraud."

I agree. Patriots got fat, dumb and happy, myself included, after Trump was elected, and are still underestimating probable voting fraud by the rabid uniparty.

Note that Fx Noise ignored possible Democratic voting fraud imo when Obama was reelected and never questioned possible voting fraud for the Alabama special election.

Also …

"Every vote counts." —Al Gore

Patriots are reminded that we wouldn't be having concerns about vote count integrity for Senate if the ill-conceived 17th Amendment hadn't been ratified. That amendment needs to be repealed along with the 16th Amendment.

Patriots now need to be making sure that there are plenty of state sovereignty-respecting, Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the 2018 primary ballots and pink slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to D.C. on election day.

[George from New England]

Whenever the D turnout exceeds the average one has to look for fraud. We have seen cases where D’s are so ambitious that they exceed the 100% turnout stats. That red flag should be addressed with new laws to track down and prosecute all the precincts with suspicious stats.

Moore lost because of his stated belief that homosexuality should be illegal. There is a BIG difference between supporting traditional marriage, and believing that homosexuals should be jailed. ....

Gosh, you just keep pushing that same meme...you’ve posted that same line, repeatedly.

I’ve read where Moore says he thinks homosexuality should (still) be illegal. I don’t see where he says they should be jailed.

(Marijuana is illegal, in many states, but offenders rarely do jail time. Many who commit illegal activities rarely see jail time, all across the country.)

Maybe you can point me to a link where Moore specifically states they should be jailed.

[Jane Long]

I am amazed at the amount of write in votes, over the expected/normal number, for this election.

I read a post, on a thread last night, that said an AL elections official had thousands more late write-in’s than the 400 (?) that were expected.

Hello??? Clue alert!!!

[bgill]

Those same games will be doubled down next round and the same RINOs will get out the vote for the RATS and the same mamsy pamsy GOP voters will tremble and shake and be led by their noses by fake news.

[pollywog]

well stated!!!!!!!!!!! my feelings exactly!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is what Roy Moore was up against: ✔ False claims ✔ Being outspent 10-1 ✔ RNC (pulled funding) ✔ GOP leadership ✔ Senate Republicans (no one endorsed) ✔ Liberal media ✔ Conservative media ✔ Alabama local media ✔ Alabama major newspapers ✔ Hollywood ....and still lost by only 19,000 votes.

“People want candidates that they can get behind and vote FOR... thats why Trump won in places he shouldnt have...

Crazy Roy couldnt even get reg folk to vote for him...

hell he should have been MILES ahead of any lib in that race... that should tell you just how crazy he really was to the people of Alabama...”

When you got half the republican party siding whit the democrats and claiming they would prefer to loses this election, is it any wonder that half the republican party would stay home or switch sides?

There was nothing wrong with Roy Moore he had run several other successful state wide elections for Judge and managed to win even after having been expelled by the federal court from the State Supreme court for denying their lawless edicts.

Moore was a fantastic canadit but nobody can win when half their own party’s leaders siding with the other guy.

[PJammers]

92%

It’s not who votes, but who counts the votes.
