There will be many explanations for Democrat Doug Jones’s victory over Republican Roy Moore in Alabama’s special election Tuesday.......
.....But there is another factor: Doug Jones simply worked very hard.
According to his own campaign, Jones held well over 200 campaign events over two months — an average of more than three per day.......
Yet there will be questions about the way Moore decided to spend his time doing things other than campaigning — for example, leaving the state to catch the Army-Navy game...........

Not to mention Senator Shelby. Should have kept his mouth shut.
Moore was so lazy he took time off for a football game close to election time. That was an insult to his supporters.
All factors add up. He added enough to sink himself.
Well someone sure as hell came out and voted. I believe many who voted for Trump last election jumped ship and voted for the homo loving, abortion approving, leftist dimocrat!!! The RINO party is as guilty with losing this election as the lazy asses of this state who stayed home in an election they had to know we had to win to keep the Senate and this seat for our side. I am simply ashamed of the people in this state who stayed home. All the bad crap that happens to this state in the next two years under Jones, THIS STATE DESERVES for staying home!!! And, YES, we voted yesterday for Moore, not for a homo loving dimocrat!
And I am sure the Democrats have respected that...
Anyone in the GOP monitoring the heavily Democrat polling places?
It would be remarkably easy there for the poll workers to take random names and vote for them.
They need to go out and fins some residents and ask them if they voted, then if they say no- see if the records show they voted. I bet they can find plenty.
That is why as of today, I am re-registering as a member of the Constitution Party. I have requested to be dropped from my Republican Congressman's mailing list.
Surprising result. Mainly because at 10pm with +40% of the vote in, Moore was ahead 53% to 46%. Methinks there is something rotten in the State of Alabama.
Good post, on target.
It was big night for the Never Trump faction of the GOP, Mitch McConnell, pro-amnesty GOP donors and the uniparty.
That is an excellent idea. Suggest it to the Moore campaign.
The majority of the uncounted ballots at that time were in areas which voted for Jones. Moore may have been ahead at that time but he began running out of votes. He peaked too soon.
Moore cost himself the race. Say what you want about Sean Hannity, but when he had Judge Moore on his TV show that should have been the opportunity to refute the charges. Instead, Moore looked like a deer in the headlights and struggled to defend himself. I knew then he was in trouble. I don’t what the judge did or didn’t do all those years, but he certainly gave the impression of a man with something to hide. The Democrats will now start “Mooreing” the president and then a lot of congressional Republicans next year. If the Democrats win back Congress we’re sunk as a nation and we all know it, but the side supposedly fighting for us is in bed with the bad guys. I’m not a religious person, but man have I been praying a lot for our country lately!
Which amounted to the write-in vote orchestrated by the McMuffin wing of the GOP.
Cut the crap. Jones received almost as many votes as Madoff Clinton. Moore got less than half of Trump’s total. The GOP-E and snowflake Republicans who were BS’d by and cowered before a Soros ad blitz were responsible. The Constitution’s survival is simply not important to those who failed to vote for Moore.
My comment was not directed at you, but the article, BTW.
I’ll be honest, Roy was a bad choice. I don’t want to get in trouble here, but Roy was never popular in Alabama to begin with... That was never taken into account.
I have to ask this question, did there have to be an election to replace sessions, or could the governor just appoint someone?

Not sure how you were able to get a good look at Moore, considering Moore wasn’t on Hannity’s TV show, he was on his radio show.
Maybe you were in the radio studio.
Hannity replayed the interview on his TV show, where Moore did, in fact, ‘refute the charges’.
You can listen (perhaps for the first time?), here....

Judge Moore refutes these baseless allegations starting around the 6:00 mark.
I believe you are correct.
Ah yes. A principled "write-in" vote. That will show them.
Doug Jones Dem. 671,151 49.9%
Roy Moore Rep. 650,436 48.4%
Total Write-Ins 22,819 1.7%
Moore went Full Hillary.
