GOP Alabama Senate Candidate Roy Moore refused to concede on Tuesday night and insisted more votes could still swing the race and save him from a stunning defeat to an underdog Democrat.
“When the vote is this close, that it’s not over,” he told supporters in Montgomery at his campaign rally shortly after Democrat Doug Jones already had been declared the winner by multiple news organizations and had given a televised victory speech.
With all precincts reporting, Jones had 49.9 percent and Moore 48.4 percent.
Moore quoted from scripture and told supporters to wait for all votes to come in – including provisional ballots and those cast by overseas military members.
“That’s what we’ve got to do, is wait on God and let this process play out,” Moore said. “But the votes are still coming in and we’re looking at that.”

Did I stumble onto the wrong web site? I thought it was the Russians who rig elections. Wait, its Democrats now?
How about this.... maybe he just lost because he was a lousy candidate.
Well consider this is an irregularly timed one. That’s going to bias it left right there.
The scandal used up so much brain share that other factors didn’t.
How? Republicans control every level of Government in Alabama. Or do you think the Russians may have had something to do with it?
That is true, off traditional voting dates usually have a harder time with voter turnout. That's how our city gets away with tax increases, they put it on a voting date where there is very little turnout and encourage all the government workers to go out and vote for it. It usually passes with those tactics.

If Trump had had his strategy druthers we might be looking at a victorious Senator Luther Strange (R) right now.
What do they say about half a loaf?
Yep... Which in 20/20 hindsight should warn us about more Moores. Either get the colorful guy who will fight like mad, or get the safe mushy one.
Ben Shapiro needs some credit for his anti-Moore work on Twitter. Ben cranked out stupid defamatory tweets like he was on the Clinton/Soros payroll. He was so diligent that at least one of the daily liberal chit-chat TV shows had him on to undermine RM on TV.
He spent the weekend at West Point?
Because I think we have fallen into the lefty illusion that we need an iron hand in government. That’s not necessary if we get government out of areas where it is wasting resources and energy. Play ball with Christendom and you won’t need showy Ten Commandments moves.
Or maybe there are lousy, underhanded people at work undermining American elections and no matter what candidate you field, it becomes nearly impossible to overcome naked and overwhelming media bias.
True!
How do you see Moore winning this?
The mainstream media is busy whipping up the lefties. That’s what it does.
We have alt right media now (e.g. Breitbart) but it needs to learn not to trip over its own feet. It doesn’t work well to do righty, lefty style.
He did have a campaign rally Monday.
Ben is a bit of a propeller head.
The problem Ben had was a Moore who was mealy mouthed. Not roaring about the allegations was taken as easy acquiescence.

That's it, innit...
This is how....
This was the first Alabama election with electronic voting machines. Counties that always go red went blue, and no one can recount the electronic votes because the Alabama Supreme Court said its okay to erase the vote. So we have no trail.
The Democrats typically get around 700k votes more or less. The Republicans typically get 1.3 million. We are missing 600k Republican votes that we’re probably deleted on the George Soros voting machine tonight.
Why would you allow the deletion of electronic votes?
Answer: To steal the election. No other logical reason could justify it.

I say we listen to Trump’s next time. He’s our general, let’s follow his lead.
There’s no way in hell that I would have voted for Luther Strange. And, many people would agree with me.
