As things stand, NEITHER candidate may get 50%. Does Alabama have a run-off in that scenario?
I’ll take the recount.
And by the way, was Alabama the southern state that detected an attempted hack by the feds last year?
Hahaha nah
If Moore had won I can see Democrats coming up with more “uncounted votes” over, and over again until they win. Think Norm Coleman/Franken.
OAN announced they had exit polls early on that convinced them Moore had this locked up. To my way of thinking that means there’s some serious voter fraud on the part of Democrats on this.
Also was earlier in the week the report of pre marked ballots for Jones having been found (whatever happened on that?), and article this morning about busses running between polling stations?
Only if the difference is 0.5 percent or under:
“Under Alabama state law, a recount is automatically ordered when a candidate wins by no more than 0.5 percent of all votes cast for the office. Automatic recounts must begin within 72 hours after results are certified”

Nancy and Chuck would prefer to have the Moore albatross, than the Senate seat.
Mitch is going to have to figure out how to rally the troops and regain order.
Let it go. Moore, while he is a good man, was a lousy candidate. He handled the allegations poorly and failed tonfire up the base.
Jones will lose in 2020, especially after he votes with the hard left.
He’s dead, Jim.
DUH !
This is the end of America. Culturally we are dead as a people if we can elect a baby killing democrat in Alabama of all places.
They changed the rules so they don’t have to preserve the electronic voting records this election.
No idea how they got away with that.
Looks like the stupid write in deal hurt a lot. Same as voting for Jones in my eyes.
I’d like to hear the conversation between Bannon and Trump after this. Remember Trump said in the primary “you need to pick someone who can win” meaning win in tonight’s election.
Trump called it, Bannon didn’t.
Are you suggesting that Democrats would pull such an underhanded trick like rigging the election, similar to what they did in Minnesota when Al Franken was given the election through a little trickery? That would surprise absolutely nobody.
“He’s dead, Jim”
C'mon people. Moore lost.
I wonder how many prolife ‘republicans’ thought it would be cute to go with a write-in candidate?
Expect to see more conservative candidates called child molesters in the near future. Apparently, feminists are enjoying success with that tactic in regards to men who date younger women.
... wasn’t it just peachy that senator Shelby advised voters to write-in.
Jefferson County stinks at this moment.
