Moore lost by about 21,300 votes out of about 1,350,000.

21,300 votes after 650,000 Trump-voting Alabamans stayed home.

21,300 votes after 650,000 Trump-voting Alabamans stayed home.

Which they pretty much do on every off year election. Of course people are presenting it as though Moore did this, rather than it being a routine occurrence in most elections.

Yes, fewer people go to the polls in non presidential elections. People should stop trying to make that appear to be Moore's fault.

A lot of people simply don't bother with non-presidential elections.

With the Republican party telling folks not to vote for Moore, what would anyone expect.

Not every recognizes that party for what it is, like we do.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS DEMOCRAT LITE (and not always lite either)

I’d like to see anyone do good when every entity is trashing them.
