Who will win the Alabama Senate special election?

[lobosrul5]

It's like a horse race coming into the final turn.

Yeah.. Come on Mobile!!!

13,000, 1.2%

I'm hoping that Jones wins, Moore demands a recount, but because the Alabama Supreme Court said "go ahead and destroy the records" a recount is nearly impossible.

One can hope, can't he?

I was just thinking the same thing. It would serve them right.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

BTW, when does the winner have to stand for election again?

McConnell already vows not to seat the winner until next year so he can get his tax vote.

When Jones wins this, at least the voter ID laws didn’t suppress the black vote, like leftists claim.

Absolutely.

I'm out of popcorn.

 

[Horatius]

And it's a tie!

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

It's a tie!

At the moment.

 

[Beerina]

Tomorrow everyone will be like "Oh, well, of course!"

You don't know crap right now!

 

[Puppycow]

According to NYT, Moore's lead is now less than 200 votes!!!

 

[Mike!]

I'm out of popcorn.

Should have paced yourself.

 

[kellyb]

Allowing myself cautious optimism again, dammit.

Didn't suppress it enough you mean. That such efforts can be overcome is not evidence those efforts don't exist.

Eat some chads.

Why does McConnell have a say?

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Jones pulled ahead and Kornacki is going nuts.

 

[Horatius]

According to NYT, Moore's lead is now less than 200 votes!!!

And now Jones is up!

From the failing NY Times:


Doug Jones
Dem.
542,857 49.2%
Roy Moore
Rep.
542,380 49.2

Why does McConnell have a say?

He sets the Senate calendar, the same way he denied Obama his SCOTUS nomination.

The man has no right to claim he believes in democracy.
