I heard on TV last night that if a win was less than one %, then it was normally an auto recount. If I heard it correctly.

[taildragger]

Part of me says yes, no more Franken-Steals. The other part says no more goat-rodeo’s this will be a huge distraction as Mika and her toy-boy contribute to global warming constantly yammering about it.

We want to see how the Democrats had 92% of their voters at the polls. Has that ever happened in any state before? If Al Franken could get two recounts to get him into the Senate, Judge Moore should get at least two.

[butterdezillion]

I didn’t hear him demand a recount in that. Sounded like he was just saying there are still more votes to be counted and we’ll see what it looks like in the morning.

I want him and OANN to legally demand access to the voter books containing the signatures of those who came in and voted, to compare the numbers with the electronic tabulations.

[Simon Green]

He lost by 1.5%.

It’s over.

[wyowolf]

While it would be funny to give the libs the same treatment... it really just shows what a prima donna he is... ME ME ME its all about ME!!

In Final-Hour Order, Court Rules That Alabama Can Destroy Digital Voting Records After All
Gizmo  | 12/11/17 | Connor Sheets

Alabama is allowed to destroy digital voting records created at the polls during today's U.S. Senate election after all.

At 1:36 p.m. Monday, a Montgomery County Circuit Court judge issued an order directing Alabama election officials to preserve all digital ballot images created at polling places across the state today.

But at 4:32 p.m. Monday, attorneys for Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill and Ed Packard, the state administrator of elections, filed an "emergency motion to stay" that order, which the state Supreme Court granted minutes after Merrill and Packard's motion was filed.

By granting the stay, the court effectively told the state that it does not in fact have to preserve the digital ballot images - essentially digitized versions of the paper ballots voters fill out at the voting booth - created today.

The court will hold a hearing on Dec. 21 about whether to dismiss the case outright. By that point the state will have had ample time to destroy the digital ballot images legally under the stay.

Merrill and Packard's attorneys argued in the emergency motion Monday that the two officials "do not have authority to maintain such records or to require local officials to do so. Plaintiffs therefore lack standing, the Circuit Court lacks jurisdiction, and the order is a nullity. Although a nullity, it will, if not stayed, cause confusion among elections officials and be disruptive to an election scheduled for tomorrow."

But Priscilla Duncan, attorney for four Alabama voters who sued the state last week in an attempt to force election officials to preserve the digital records, said Tuesday that their argument was "spurious" and misleading.

[Alas Babylon!]

I live in Alabama. Voted for Judge Moore, but face it, he lost.

Let’s not waste anymore of the state’s money on election. We all need to be getting ready for 2018.

I am disappointed that more Republicans and Conservatives didn’t get their butts to the polling places yesterday. So many people I know did not vote! We’re just hearing about it this morning.

Moore lost because those people didn’t vote.

[Lopeover]

No. Remember Steins’s recount. There is more justification for a recount in this instance.

[FrankR]

I watched the Alabama election (even though I’m from Georgia) from the time the polls closed, till the end...county by county.

At one point Moore was way ahead, and then the late-comers finally sent their tallies into the board.

Dallas county - a large, BLUE, county was the very last to report...and it stayed blank for a long time, with “no precincts reporting”...and then all of a sudden at the end, enough votes were found to push Jones over the top...barely.

But, as has been stated, and RINOs caused Moore’s loss, and, the sanctimonious people who did “write-ins”.

It seems to me that most, if not all, of the write-ins were Conservative/Republican...for certainly mind-numbed democrats wouldn’t dare stray from their party line. So, that means, the dems didn’t win, the GOpE LOST. I we had got that 22K plus write in people, we might have won it.

So, this win means nothing for the dems, except one more vote in the Senate. It’s not a trend, it’s sorry-ass management in Congress, in the person(s) Ryan and the Senate leader.

[Ronald77]

When it appeared Moore could win the Alabama court order the ballots to be preserved for a recount. As soon as the Jones win was announced the court declared the ballots could be immediately destroyed. Plays very loudly to court protected voter fraud.

[backwoods-engineer]

Both Demonrats and Republicans (same party now) will have themselves a big ol’ belly laugh, and go back to colluding for the destruction of the United States. Prediction here and now: THERE WILL BE NO RECOUNT. They destroyed the ballot images, or soon will.

[trustandobey]

Thank God he is doing this and while he’s at it would he please file suit against Gloria and his accusers?

[sphinx]

Moore is dead but he should string it out until the tax reform bill passes. With the loss of the seat and assuming Flake can’t be somehow brought back aboard, any single defection would scuttle the bill — and I can think of at least three likely perps who might be attracted to the idea of carving that little niche in history.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Just...go..,away

[Captain Peter Blood]

Well let him have a recount. Do what Franken did till the count is right.

[WashingtonFire]

One thing the judge has without a doubt is a pair of Iron Balls.

There are many precincts where the turnout records make no sense at all.

[Revel]

Liberal Democrats cheat in all major elections. They find a way. I have talked to them enough to know that they have the mindset that the “end justifies any means”. In there minds they are the only thing righteous.

You can bet that many thousands of fraudulent votes were somehow generated by their sup-pacs and Get out the vote type groups. All of which should be illegal as they really are just tools used to steal elections.

As long as they exist then there will never be a truly honest major election in the US ever again.

[Yo-Yo]

Moore is not going to close a 22,000 vote gap with a recount. What a moronic strategy to take.
