Alabama Secretary of State: If State GOP Pulls Support for Moore and He Gets the Most Votes, Election Would Be ‘Null and Void’
On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox News @ Night,” Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill (R) said that the Alabama Republican Party can formally pull its support for its Senate nominee Judge Roy Moore, and if this happens and Moore still gets the most votes, the election would be null and void.
Merrill said Moore could withdraw from the race, or the state Republican Party could formally pull its support. He further stated that if that happens and Moore receives the most votes, “our election would be declared null and void, and Governor Ivey would have to call another special election, and we’d start the process all over again.”

The courts would immediately rule that the race can’t be stopped. Don’t fall into the trap.
I want to see Judge Moore win, then immediately resign from the republican party and take his seat as an independent. Let Mcturtle choke on that.
7 States including Alabama require primary run offs if not get 50% but
1] Uniquely, Georgia requires a run-off election if no candidates wins a majority of the vote in a general election.
Are the people of Alabama voting for the GOP or Roy Moore! The Deep Staters are pulling a bunch of shenanigans!! Make the GOPe party in Alabama null & void!
Has Louisiana gone main stream? Until fairly recently what you described for Georgia held true for Louisiana.
I still have too much to lose, but that’s waning. Doing something... It’s going to happen one day and I can only hope it’s coordinated for maximum effect.
.Louisisana is same as usual
In Louisiana there is a second round (runoff) between the top two candidates if no candidate wins a simple majority (more than half of the votes) in the first round of balloting. That happens more often with open seats, as incumbents more easily win majorities. The runoff constitutes the general election under Louisiana law even if the general election had two candidates of the same party, a phenomenon which frequently occurs. Historically, the Democratic Party was dominant from the late 19th through much of the 20th centuries, especially after the state legislature disenfranchised most blacks at the turn of the 20th century, weakening the Republican Party.

It needs to be a million un related paper cuts. The only safe way to do that kind of thing is alone and unconnected.
Random serial killers have a hard time getting caught because ther is no tie and no boisterous rat to get you caught.
It will come down to thousands or tens of thousands people deciding they individually have had enough. Individually and randomly striking out. Then you will smell the fear. It will be so thick like the smog in china.
Another Soros purchased Secretary of State?
In this case, the Secretary of state is incorrect. The ballots are already printed. It’s another example of a stupid republican with a fake law degree. The Alabama GOP can cease to exist, and Moore would still be on the ballot.
After this is wrapped up, I am finished with the pretenders in the state. Other than Ivey, I will vote against all of the McConnell crew.

This may not end well. Alabama is a strange state. Our motto is “We dare defend our rights”. If they pull this crap, I don’t know what will happen. People will be really pissed. I imagine many of us will just quit voting. Why bother. We may be down to the last box.
Thanks!
And, so would the Republican party...
Fun?
Even Mitch McConnell doesn’t have the courage to try nullifying the election.
This is all nonsense.
How can The GAP withdrawing its support for Moore nullify the voters’ decision? That would make voting a useless waste of time.
Yeah, I enjoy Constitutional inquiry.
Heck, my having to say good things about the 17th also throws sweet irony in.
I’m not so sure about that. State law might say that, but I bet it was written before the SC decision on term limits, which says that states can’t change the constitution on federal elections. Also would violate one man one vote; a party can’t decide who can be Senator, only the voters can.
Mitch does this all the time, he's seeing if it gains any traction, he really doesn't know whether it will work or not.
More specifically, his hillbilly DCadre is trying to see if the Weinstein reverb has any traction in his party or the other.
He doesn't particularly care about Moore, other than he doesn't want to have to "defend" Roy in front of the press cage for so much as one nanosecond in the run-up to mid-terms next year after Moore is seated & a Senator.
There used to be a time when this kind of clear-eyed analysis was the second or third post on any thread....
