I agree it is “over” but that ballot is nonsensical, really embarrassing for Alabama that they cannot even get an important special election done correctly. To vote “straight” Republican or Democrat means just that. To then, by fiat of some state official, ignore that clearly expressed preference because the voter then contradicts himself by marking the other party’s candidate or writes in someone else is really arbitrary and absurd. Such votes are obviously invalid. Sounds as if we will never know how many there were. Sad performance. In a sane world, a court would require a new vote. But that will never happen.

Where did you say that “sane world” might be, I’d like to move there.
