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.

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

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'.

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

Have faith. God bless.

[JudgemAll]

Someone explains to me how in a country where only less than 50% of people vote, democrats included, a small time special election gets 92% democrat turn out?

Are they having a Union voting for people staying home?

Hard to believe folks don’t like Crazy Roy.....

[Republican Wildcat]

This is about what I figured happened - virtually no one changed their minds about voting Dem over Rep - the Reps simply decided to say at home rather than vote for Moore - he had simply burned too many bridges with too many folks over his previous years in office abusing his authority to engage in vanity politics. Everyone who voted for him in the primary did show up and rest did not.

[DouglasKC]

There is no way 92 percent of dems came to vote. No way. Its not reality.

It is amazing what humans will do when motivated by fear and/or anger.

The El Pervo label stuck with enough people to make the difference. Gloria All-RED will make many more appearances with allegedly assaulted women w.r.t. the 2018 races.
