There was less turnout overall, as is typical for such elections. What is unusual is 4 times the amount of RATs that voted in the primary voted in the general. Typically it only goes up by 2 ½ times.
Seeing the voting stats gave me a sigh of relief
If there really was a BLUE WAVE, Jones wouldn't be underperforming LOSER Hillary's vote total by 58,000+ votes!!! LOL
Republicans just didn't show up or vote for Moore
They’re trying to get the voting public in general to move to the “Cartridge Box” instead of the Voting Box.
Purple thumbs or nothing.
I wonder if it’s the percentage that had been reported. Maybe these numbers were from before all the bigger counties were done reporting.
The connection of Republicans to red and Democrats to blue is a direct result of the 2000 election. Prior to that election, there was no set color scheme for parties - though red was more often connected with Democrats. The use of colors to identify which states were won by which party largely began with NBC News in 1976. They kept a map onscreen during their election coverage which would light up when specific candidates won specific states - Red for Carter and Blue for Ford.
This proved popular and other networks soon followed suit. CBS used the opposite color scheme - red for Republican, blue for Democrat. ABC used yellow and blue in ‘76 and then red and blue in ‘80 and ‘84. By 2000, ABC and CBS had a blue - Democrat, red - Republican scheme. CNN, WaPo and the NYTimes used the opposite scheme. NBC used blue for incumbent and red for challenger.
When the 2000 election wasn’t over in a single day, suddenly the electoral map was everywhere, all the time, and the networks and publications quickly coalesced around the blue - Democrat, red - Republican scheme. Partly this was because NBC’s incumbent - challenger scheme happened to agree with ABC and CBS’ scheme. This also led to the phrases ‘blue-state’ and ‘red-state’ becoming popularized and fixed in the public mindset.
So, essentially it’s dumb luck.
I like Yandex. It’s not well known but it’s very good.
Those machines can be programmed to say anything, and the only data backing up whether actual ballots were cast was intentionally destroyed.
How many of those votes came from destroyed, untraceable electronic ballots?
Losers make excuses - we fit the bill.
Alabama should have hired Blagojevich to handle the Senatorial replacement.
likely due to the 14 to 1 spending
Funny how the rats are spending all this money on special elections, but the DNC is literally bankrupt while the RNC is swimming in cash
Yup.
They learned their lesson from Trump’s victory.
They view open and fair elections as the problem.
Hence going forward, all elections will be rigged.
CW 2.0 is nearly upon us.
There was an extra effort by Republicans to have the electronic voting records destroyed. Incredibly strange and suspicious.

BTTT
I personally do not believe that the Conservatives didn’t show up to vote.
My polling place had steady traffic. I purposely asked the poll workers how the pace had been.
Here is the thing...Alabama was DEVASTATED economically by Barry’s war on coal/mfg/business. Business is booming now. That fact alone makes no sense for the outcome on Tuesday.
