What the Heck Happened in Alabama?
American Thinker.com ^ | December 15, 2017 | Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 12/15/2017 10:03:16 AM PST by Kaslin

Years ago, my brother David gave me a nugget of wisdom. He advised, "When faced with a crisis, stabilize your emotions before responding/acting." Thus, I thought it best to wait a day or so before sharing my thoughts about Roy Moore losing in Alabama.

Moore's loss simply does not make sense. Alabama is a red state. It is hard to believe Alabama voters chose Jones, who supports killing babies even at the point of birth, over 38-year-old unproven sexual misconduct allegations against Moore. Yes, I smell the foul stench of Democrat voter fraud in the Alabama senate race.

We've heard the term partial-birth abortion, but most folks don't know what it is. The abortionist takes the entire baby out of its mother except for the head. He then shoves scissors into the baby's brain to kill it. Planned Parenthood is elated when abortionists can murder the baby without too much damage to the baby's head. Intact heads sell for premium prices. Jones supports this horrific evil.

Rather that believing Alabama voters knowingly chose a man who supports murdering babies and trafficking their body parts, I tend to believe fake news media successfully hid Jones' hostility towards unborn innocent human life. Leftists celebrate Jones' mindset because Leftists deem killing babies environmentally responsible; necessary to save the planet from too many humans. Step on a spotted frog and Leftists are outraged at you!

Like nothing we've seen before, Leftists saturated the airwaves, social media, and fake news media with 24/7 attacks on Moore, his wife and anyone supportive of him.

In my county at least, they check voter ID against a list. If it is not present the voter is allowed to vote “conditionally” and the “conditional” votes may or may not be counted. If a lawyer gets involved demanding that they be counted they will be counted and it won’t necessarily be reported outside of the precinct.

>>>92%.

First of all, a lot of Democrats may have sat out 2016 because it was a given that Trump would win the state. There were not any other statewide races in doubt either.

Second, Democrats had more reason to show up this year with the election in doubt. Roy Moore has traditionally underperformed. He won in 2012 with about 52% of the vote, when Romney had about 61%.

Third, I’d bet that a significant number of Jones votes came from Republicans. I haven’t seen anything in the exit polling, but that would be an interesting data point.

Moore isn’t primarily needed for his legislative ability.

Then what exactly was he going to do as one guy in a body of 100 U.S. Senators?

Your statement just explained why the guy lost.

One of Moore's biggest campaign promises was that he wouldn't support Mitch McConnell for Senate majority leader. What the hell is that going to accomplish if there's no other Republican in the U.S. Senate who has even hinted at challenging McConnell's leadership position?

No wonder the Republican Party establishment threw the guy in the dumpster. He was principled, but politically tone-deaf in a way that made Hillary Clinton look like a sharp political operator.

No amount of Dems “bused in” could have offset the 650,000 Trump voters who sat at home.

True, but Jones only won but what? 20K? So do the math. 30 buses, 70 people per bus, 10 stops, would do it.

VOTER FRAUD

It is very statistically improbable that 92% of HilLIARy voters turned out, and only 48% of Trump voters did.

Wow, that’s ripe for democrat-run large precincts to use as an alternative to stuffing pre-filled ballots that show up in somebody’s car trunk.

Moore talked about counting the provisional ballots. Is there any way of knowing if the provisional ballots in heavy dem areas were counted with the other votes? Could that be the electronic record that the Supreme Court said they could delete - the question of how many provisional ballots were cast and how many counted?

How would they get around the voter ID law? Where are the pictures & video of these buses & people?

Stop the zany emotional venting and think for a moment about what you've just said there.

Before the election, the Democrats wouldn't have known how many "extra" votes they would have needed to win. Without any other information to serve as the basis of their "fraud plan," they would have brought in enough extra voters to exceed the 1.3 million votes Donald Trump got in 2016, not the 650,000 Moore ended up getting in 2017.

You’re not hearing what I’m saying.

We NEED somebody politically tone-deaf. We need a loose cannon. We need somebody who will turn the place upside-down.

Enough of “business as usual” (the uniparty screwing us all while nobody has the guts to say a peep in protest).

You're dismissing the possibility that a lot of people who voted for Trump in 2016 voted for Jones in 2017. It's probably not a huge number, but this sort of dynamic happened even within the same election in 2016 in Pennsylvania. A sizable chunk of Trump voters voted for the Democrat candidate in the U.S. Senate election, and vice versa.

Just for the sake of information, getting a non-driver ID in Alabama is so easy that some places will not accept them. Add in the fact that many other forms of ID can be used, and our voter ID laws are weak enough to allow for fraud.

If Facebook posts constitute valid evidence, I’d be serving 500 years in prison right now.

92% isn’t surprising to you.

Get real. Off off year elections don’t draw those numbers.

You honestly didn’t know that? Seriously?

You drag out the total vote percentage compared to registered votes as if it matters. That’s idiotic.

You try to expand the topic subject matter to bolster your beliefs. That’s a massive fail.

Over registration (people who never intend to vote anyway), and complacency of folks who intended to vote but never do, leaves very low voting percentages every election. It’s nothing new for this election. That’s why it’s silly to bring it up here.

Eliminate the things that are the same in each election, and study the actual turnout. That’s what matters here.

92% of the folks who voted Democrat in November of 2016, showed up for this off-year election. This is actually an off-off-year. It’s not an election where a governor, senator, or Congressman was on the ballot.

I doubt you will ever find an election like this where 92% of the voters from the last general election came out to vote, from either party.

Why are you persisting to claim something that is preposterous?

My question is, what is the harm in keeping them? Store them to the cloud. Paper records get lost, burned, mixed up.

The truth is that digital records can be scanned, cross-referenced, analyzed, mined, trended, patterned. Paper records are unwieldy and hard to correlate.

Yes, you certainly would not want another Luther Strange who has voted with the President 100% of the time.

You do realize that the Media-Democrat-Republican Axis is going to henceforth convince you that ALL conservative candidates are "terrible candidates", right? And I guess it's super easy now that the media has successfully convinced all non-religious Americans that Christians are just a bunch of hypocrites, and if you scratch the surface, you will find a pedophile. Unless the candidate is a Democrat or a non-conservative Republican. They get a pass every time.

So, you all can have your elections now. That was the last one I'll vote in until the Fourth Turning crisis comes and this country burns.

Ii don’’t think the court said they “could delete. I believe it was “must delete.”

That works in a presidential election when you have one candidate who can establish credibility to accomplish such a thing.

It even works in a Congressional election cycle when you have a movement that propels a number of candidates into office who run on a "no more business as usual" platform. Think of the 1994 Contract with America and the 2010 TEA Party movement as good examples of this.

It never works when you have one guy with plenty of principles but no political credibility and no grassroots movement behind him running in a single campaign for a legislative office where he will be absolutely incapable of turning anything more than his own garbage cans upside-down.

As a U.S. Senator, Roy Moore had no power to get a single bill in front of the Senate for a vote ... no power to do anything more than Luther Strange or Mo Brooks would have done in office ... no national media presence to capture the energy of people in other states ... and no charismatic presence to convince his fellow U.S. Senators to support him in his efforts to "turn the place upside-down."
