It’s over.
That’s the spirit.
Moore should challenge Jones to a duel. Let’s get the gun play started already...
Akabamans who voted fir Douglas OR STAYED HOME.
GO TO HELL.
Stupid bastards. Obama won tonight. The swamp won tonight. America lost tonight.
Good, don’t concede. Electronic manipulation may have won it for Jones. Or Alabama suddenly turned blue?? I doubt that.
Only 48% of GOP turnout, and 90% of HilLIARy voters did?
Really? Presidential-race type numbers for ONLY the democrats?
I am thinking they did all the voter fraud in HilLIARy’s loss, but thought they would be good with 10%, when 15% would have done it.
They only need to manufacture votes in a few Democrat districts.
If the GOP does not get tough on voter fraud, the Dems are going to learn off of this and do the same in 2018
I am not optimistic, but Moore will be entitled to await the results of the automatic recount. 13,000 votes is a considerable number to make up, but there is no harm in waiting it out.
Way to go, Moore. A recount is in order for a less that 1% margin!
The count differential now is about 1.5%. It has to be 0.5% or less to trigger a recount. I think it is probably over but we will see.
Not close enough for a Recount. AL has Voter ID and Moore simply was too damaged by all the accusations.
Simple as that.
Moore isn’t Hillary. He can’t get away with being a Shadow Senator. Time for him to retire. He had his shot and blew it.

I’m glad Moore is fighting, but the Democrats have CARLOADS of ballots they can feed into the machines, I’m sure. In an election this close, they can “find” all the votes they need. It should have never been this close, but ‘Republicans’ didn’t get off their butts and vote.
Stupid is as stupid does.
The mistake was Trump backing McConnell’s candidate.
All he had to do is stay out of the race and Brooks would have won—both the primary and the general.
Truenews; falsified votes, IMHO. Keep rollin’ them buses from polling spot to polling spot. Eh?
Moore should of spent more energy on campaigning rather than contesting.
Going out of State for a football game the weekend before the election is terrible optics. Also should of used the accusations as a springboard for campaigning on any talk show that would have him on, not just a small handful who are “friendly”.
Finally never run a Dewey campaign and take the voters for granted. Candidates must always fight tooth and nail thinking they are always behind.
I went to my polling place in Pike Road, Al yesterday at about 4. There were 4 blacks in front of me in line, all holding yellow cards meaning they "Went to the wrong polling place to vote originally" and 3 more sitting at a side table filling out Provisional Ballots.
I would be willing to bet all 7 had already voted in multiple places.
