Alabama Certifies Jones Win, Brushing Aside Challenge From Roy Moore

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/us/politics/roy-moore-block-election.html

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama officials on Thursday unhesitatingly pushed aside a legal challenge from Roy S. Moore and certified Doug Jones as the winner of this month’s Senate election.

The action, during a brief meeting at the State Capitol, was essentially the state’s final step before the seating of the first Democrat elected to the Senate from Alabama in a quarter century. It was also a swift rejection, by some of the state’s most powerful Republicans, of Mr. Moore’s complaint that he was the victim of “systematic voter fraud.”

Mr. Jones’s margin of victory was 21,924 votes with more than 1.3 million ballots cast.

Yup. The good news is we have a shot at the seat in 2020. Trump should win Alabama, and we can put forth another candidate be it Mo Brookes, Luther Strange, or someone else. Unless Doug Jones does something very endearing, Trump has the real possibility of dragging this candidate across the finish line.

Ah. So the "Judge" is a Black Muslim as well. He's the one who picked this name.

Clearly unbiased against Roy Moore, the Champion of Judeo-Christian codes.

Might as well be in Nigeria.
