I watched the Alabama election (even though I’m from Georgia) from the time the polls closed, till the end...county by county.
At one point Moore was way ahead, and then the late-comers finally sent their tallies into the board.
Dallas county - a large, BLUE, county was the very last to report...and it stayed blank for a long time, with “no precincts reporting”...and then all of a sudden at the end, enough votes were found to push Jones over the top...barely.
But, as has been stated, and RINOs caused Moore’s loss, and, the sanctimonious people who did “write-ins”.
It seems to me that most, if not all, of the write-ins were Conservative/Republican...for certainly mind-numbed democrats wouldn’t dare stray from their party line. So, that means, the dems didn’t win, the GOpE LOST. I we had got that 22K plus write in people, we might have won it.
So, this win means nothing for the dems, except one more vote in the Senate. It’s not a trend, it’s sorry-ass management in Congress, in the person(s) Ryan and the Senate leader.
This is a story that has played out over-and-over in several states in several elections. The Democrat strongholds LOEV to hold on to their results and report last. And if the vote is close enough to affect - they somehow ALWAYS manage to find enough votes to put their candidate over the top.
Dallas county - a large, BLUE, county was the very last to report...and it stayed blank for a long time, with “no precincts reporting”...and then all of a sudden at the end, enough votes were found to push Jones over the top...barely.
Highly populated democrat urban districts are always the very last to report and and amazingly have juuuust enough votes to throw the Democrat over the top...magic...
Though it would not be nearly as exciting to watch, I wonder if it would not be better to delay reporting of any precinct totals until all can be displayed...
