Who will win the Alabama Senate special election?

[thaiboxerken]

He announced he wouldn't allow the winner to be sworn in until next year, keeping Strange in the office.

Yes, which is against tradition, Senate Rules and probably illegal. But they have no shame about taking such actions, as evidenced with the theft of a SCOTUS appointment.

This is the only time I'll ever recommend this: Read the comments, sort by best.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

I voted that Moore would win. But that wasn't skepticism, it was pessimism. As well as the knowledge of just how conservative Alabama is.

Called it!

Pessimists!

 

[William Parcher]

It might be less than 10,000 votes. The media was saying that the cities would give Jones a much greater margin.

GOOD NEWS: A hateful crypto-fascist who openly disbelieved in the rule of law and was twice removed from the bench from it before he was revealed to be a child molester can't be elected to the Senate, even in an ultra-partisan state.

BAD NEWS: It took that. And barely.​

I think Moore was just not as popular in Alabama as a lot of people seemed to think he was.

 

[Foolmewunz]

Don’t you mean Moore? Grammar resistance leader?

Huh huh, ya got me there, Beevis! (It's a typo; or a brainfart, if you will. It doesn't change that your kiddie diddler lost and he did so with the help of your pussy-grabbing president and your neo-nazi white supremacist demigod, Steve Bannon.)

 

[WilliamSeger]

I’m happy for your side, you guys really needed a win. You’ll have the seat for two years.

Did you forget we had some really good wins last month, too? Looks like a trend.

 

[LTC8K6]

There are enough write ins to overshadow the difference between Moore and Jones.

 

[Foolmewunz]

Looks like Mitch is going to have to break the Senate rules again so that they can get their tax bill.

Why? Strange will be the voting Senator.

Lol

Actually, there were some accusations that might have had something to do with it.

 

[LTC8K6]

The gap seems to be mighty small...

 

[Cl1mh4224rd]

Looks like decency and common sense won for a change.

Barely...

I don't think it's so much that people presumed that Moore was popular - it's that people presumed that Alabamas have no ethical standards (en masse) given their Republican tendencies.

I think Moore was just not as popular in Alabama as a lot of people seemed to think he was.

He was a lot more popular just a month or so ago. I wonder what happened?

 

[LTC8K6]

Turnout 34%, much higher than the 25% I was hearing earlier.

 

[thaiboxerken]

Why? Strange will be the voting Senator.

Looks like it will be Strange voting on it. But Mitch has already been breaking Senate traditions to get the bill passed.

He didn't beat the Dem for judge by all that much in 2012.

 

[LTC8K6]

Moore may win this yet...

Wow logger, you and I agree on something.
