Here is an interesting comparison with Virginia which has about 1.67 x more people than Alabama:
Nov 2017 Governor race
Northam (Dem) 1,409,175
Gellespie (Rep) 1,175,731
compared with 2009 race in which a Republican governor was elected:
Deeds (dem) 818,809
McDonnell (Rep) 1,163,523
What this shows is that the democrats have nearly double their total over an 8 year span while the republicans have remained about the same. This is due to any of the following: 1) increased immigration (including northern states as well as undocumenteds); 2) felons; 3) voter fraud; and 4) Democrats developing an effective get-out-the vote ground game.
If you normalize the Virginia vote by the 1.67 factor, the totals are roughly similar to the recent Senate race in Alabama (but with closer tallies between candidates in Ala).
Virginia 2010 Census: 8,001,024
Alabama 2010 Census: 4.779,739
Virginia is about 1.67x more populous than Alabama
So rather than blaming the election on the faults of the candidates, we better get to the bottom of these trends or we will find ourselves at the bottom of the swamp.
Nay... If it’s not close they can’t cheat.
Roy had and blew a supreme chance to do a jiu jitsu comeback on a pathetic lefty move. A lack of perspective about as bad as Yo’s contributed here.
Pride as ALWAYS goes before destruction.
