“I expect the next step will have Republicans and Democrats work together to defraud all elections nationwide.“
Sounds about right. I’d love to read the Alabama statute that states this. I’ll bet it was pulled out of someone’s posterior.

Wow, if it gets to that, canceling the state wide vote after it happens is inviting people to vote with other than ballots.
This is the result of the swamps scorched Earth policies. They are going to reap a great wrath.
Trump needs to take over the RNC and control the funds. Defund his and our enemies in the congress.
Can’t Moore declare himself independent then?
1. political parties
2. voters
Nice. The founders of this nation must be whirling like lopsided tops in their graves.”
No, Its:
1. Big money Globalists 2. Political Hacks & Lobbyists 3. Rank and File Party Apparatchiks 4. Voters
The Founders’ original Constitution allowed the states to do what they wanted about picking Senators.
The 17th and the post-civil war amendments make this unlikely to hold in court though IMHO.
well that forces people to open the 4th box
Trump needs to send in the Marines.
So that means the current RINO stays in office?
This interference in Alabama’s special senatorial election is one of the most sickening things I’ve seen in a long long time. Let the voters in Alabama decide who they want to elect! It’s nobody else’s d@mn business.
This despicable universal ganging up on Judge Moore with nothing more than 40 year old unsubstantiated allegations is evil, pure evil.
When it comes to elections for Federal office the Feds hold the trump card. Your rules must comply with their rules.
The state cannot nullify millions of votes. It would never pass a court challenge.
Equal protection and all of that.
Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill (R)
The only question I have is what position in the Swamp has Mr. Merrill been promised. Cuz if he pulls this off, he will be movin’ on up in the Establisment Swamp.
If the last plug is pulled on Moore, can DJT fire Sessions, and Sessions can have his Senate seat back? If so, DJT should do that and then nominate a pit bull like Rudy to the AG position.
Moore can them run as an independent ? Southerners, you are still being occupied. It’s called the republican party.It’s hierarchy is made up of carpetbaggers and scalawags. If they do this to Moore. Let’s make sure We target every GOP establishment rino nation wide. McConnell, Ryan, Graham all have to go.
Whatever happened to the will of the people, seeing as many of them have donated money to Moore’s campaign, and voted for him in the primary. How does the State get to overrule their primary vote?
LOL!!
I don’t believe “Republican” is written into the State Constitution of Alabama as a prerequisite for election, nor is party “support” for a given candidate. He won the special election, he’ll be on the ballot December 12 unless he withdraws.
“The 17th and the post-civil war amendments make this unlikely to hold in court though IMHO.”
The 17th specifies that Senators will be elected by popular vote. That makes this a Federal Election, held in the State of Alabama.
The dumb-ass SoS is full of sh!t. He cannot nullify the votes of millions under any circumstances. It’s a violation of the equal protection clause.
Since the election is already scheduled in accordance with state law, the democrats could sue to ensure it goes forward and every Federal Judge in the land would compel the state to move forward with the election.
