Mickey Mouse. Nick Saban. Any Other Republican.
Those were some of names that got write-in votes in the Alabama Senate election as voters suggested their own alternatives to Sen.-elect Doug Jones and Republican Roy Moore in the Alabama Senate race.
An unusually high number of voters 22,852 people, or 1.6 percent of the 1.3 million people who went to the polls opted for a write-in candidates, sometimes showing their humor and frustration along the way. Anyone Else, Neither, and Any Other Republican were among the written submissions.
Many of the submission were more serious as some voters followed the lead of Sen. Richard Shelby, who said he could not vote for Moore and was instead writing in the name of another Republican.

I do think that an uncharismatic consistent Christian is a hard sale but in that state he should have won anyways and the polls were showing a win.
The scandals were simply a way to cover the stolen election.
>>>The SOS didnt ask the guy who he was talking about that had come from all over the country
Doug Jones had people from all over the country helping to get it the vote. I imagine that is who he eas referring. We have voter ID laws here, so unless they are registered and have ID they can’t vote.
>>>You mean like the places where theres always over 100% voter turnout?
Show me an example of a precinct in Alabama that gets over 100% voter turnout. Heck, show me any precinct that gets more than 100% voter turnout anywhere in the US.
>>>Two weeks to come up with how many millions of dollars, after being outspent what? 40 to 1?
If conservatives across this country truly believed that there was rampant vote fraud, I’m sure they could have rallied to raise a million dollars to save a Senate seat. The fact that it did not happen, or wasn’t even proposed, says a lot.
>>>They had electronic machines where the records were supposed to be preserved but were not. I suspect these machines were programed to flip a certain percentage of votes.
No. The machines have the ability to capture a digital image of the paper ballot. Not all machines were programmed to do so because the Alabama Legislature has never required retention of the digital image. In its evaluation of what is required to ensure election integrity, the Legislature has deemed it necessary only to retain the paper ballots. These paper ballots would be used in the event of a recount.
If there aren’t observers making sure voter ID is checked, the voter ID law may as well not exist.
Did all the precincts have both R and D observers present at all times?
I hope the SOS did more than “imagine” who the guy was talking about. Did he check out the online ads telling people from nearby states to go vote in AL? Did he check out the video footage of long lines of uniform buses coming in one after the other the night before the election?
What is the guarantee that the votes could not be flipped by the electronic tabulation software?
There are places that routinely get over 100% voter turnout. IIRC that was a phenomenon especially in the 2012 election, where the analysts had pointed out far before the election that the whole thing could be impacted by just a few heavily-dem precincts in key states. That was also the election when Dennis Montgomery was hired by Brennan and Clapper to breach the FL voter database - downloading the whole database and then uploading a different database.
And there’s the story of the reporter who called a dem precinct to ask what the vote tally was and the person in charge didn’t realize it was a reporter and asked, “How many do you need?” And the boxes of pre-filled ballots in Philadelphia that managed to show up at the precise time that the dems kicked out all the R observers.
Etc.
There is a reason that Lois Lerner’s IRS targeted “True the Vote”.
But suffice to say that at this point Alabama is to me just as the NFL is to me. Bleah. Sad, because there are some decent people there but there are also obviously a lot of so-called “Christians” who don’t know the meaning of the word repentance, much less have the humble heart to do it. Sad.
But if votes are flipped the flippers can always make sure that the margin is wide enough that there will never be a recount - the only thing that would ever detect the flipping.
Correct?
Or how do they audit the process to be absolutely sure that no flipping has happened?
Do the voters get a receipt for their vote? And if so, how can they know that vote wasn’t flipped in the tabulation process?
Conservatives across this country watched blatant lies used by the R’s and D’s alike to defeat Moore, and an either clueless or evil Alabama citizenry apparently let them get away with it after even the supposedly conservative Fox News joined with all the other media low-lifes to spread lies.
What’s the use of fighting? Serious question. I’ve given a LOT for this country. What is the use of fighting for her, when she cares so little about being saved? The little guys can give everything they have, and have the very powers of Hell to contend with on a daily basis, along with all the other targeting done by an out-of-control deep state that hates truth-tellers. But still the couch-potato critics will always think we should give more, while they do nothing but b!tch about us not being good enough.
At some point it’s a real battle to not just say, “Just go to Hell then, if that’s what you want. My family is not giving one more ounce to a fat, complacent, demanding, soul-less public. We’ve given enough. You want to die; at this point you can just go ahead and reap what you’ve sown.”
>>>Or how do they audit the process to be absolutely sure that no flipping has happened
I don’t know if there is a way other than a recount. But in cases where a recount has been done, I have never actually heard of a case where a machine was determined to have flipped votes.
For Roy Moore, the bigger issue of flipping was Republican voters. And it is not a new ussue for him.
In 2012, Romney defeated Obama by totals of 1,255,926 to 795,696. Roy Moore won his Chief Justice seat by only 1,051,627 to 977,301.
So essentially, close to 200,000 Romney voters flipped over to vote against Moore.
OK, I guess Alabamans are just squishes, as you insist.
Like I say with the NFL: Bleah. Go where you’ve decided to go.
Not before FDR.
So no they will attack Mickey!
Bannon seems like he fails on purpose...
LOL...watch out the Moore robots will be all over this!
I wasn’t paying attention to Bannon what did he do?
Yeah - like it's tough to overcome 14:1 spending odds against you if the People won't invest of themselves to fight evil.....
He(Bannon) certainly won’t learn anything from a an amateur like you.
I think in hindsight that Mo Brooks should have been nominated. Oh Roy is too old, but I tried to help.
Now that Moore has passed a lie detector test supporting !his denial the dummies who were taken in by the lie can eat Shiite.
write in candidates are a GOPe vote splitting operation.
this is just trying to excuse the gope.
there are always write in micky mouse votes
That's exactly the kind of sanctimonious, repulsive arrogance that makes people write in "Mickey Mouse" on Election Day.
Hell -- that's exactly the kind of attitude that made me support Donald Trump.
