Combine sorozNazi fraud and the stinking GOP-e. Together ( or apart) they can ruin anything.

AL has Voter ID Laws doesn’t it?

Did they all have Valid AL ID’s that matched the Voter Roll Book?

Moore got enough votes to be nominated

He lacked the drawing power to be elected.

He was conservative, even archaic riding in on a pinto, but lacked the power to get elected. He was conservative enough but not Republican enough

Roy Moore traveled about 800 miles away from Alabama to watch a stupid football game in Philadelphia.

On the last weekend before the election.

Which happened to be the biggest election of his political career.

With enormous national implications in Washington.

My heavens ... the f#%&ing idiocy and incompetence is breathtaking.

Anyone who donated a penny to Roy Moore's campaign should sue him for fraud. He obviously wasn't even a real political candidate, and clearly wasn't up to the job.

Yes it does stink like voter fraud.

No, it stinks like a bad candidate being campaigned against by his own party while being carpet bombed by the media. Even after all that he still nearly won.

>>>Of course if rat voters are bused in from Neighboring states there are not enough Republican voters to guarantee a win.

Are you suggesting voter ID laws don’t work?

Do you think the rats care about it? You sure are naive.

Moore was not the best candidate, but he was not what the ComDems accused him of being.

Yes, the election was lost because of huge expenditure by the Dems, large amounts spent by the GOPe badmouthing Moore, GOPe POLs suggesting Republicans vote a write-in, and the usual plus a little Dem Voter Fraud.

All of the above.

Delusional comment. No amount of Dems “bused in” could have offset the 650,000 Trump voters who sat at home. Had they chosen to vote GOP Moore would have won. Easily.

Many good points have been made and another factor is that many Republican voters believed Moore would be a frequent source of embarassment to the state.

Few battles are won by charging a machine gun nest across an open field, and that’s a good comparison to what Moore did politically two different times resulting in his being removed as CJ of the Alabama Supreme Court. He seems to love to drmatic gesture, but the outcome is often disastrous.

And many believed he’d continue his dramatic, but futile and embarrassing gestures in the US Senate. A fair number of Republican voters did not want that in their senator. Those probably stayed home or wrote in someone, maybe Nick Saban.

A good candidate doesn't let his opposition define him -- even if the opposition includes the entire media and even many people in your own political party.

See "Trump, Donald" and "2016 presidential election" to understand how this works.

President Trump was right about Moore and he was right about Luther Strange. Strange would have won this election easily and as Trump says, Moore ought to concede.

The thing with that, though, is that if AL has voter ID, then somebody could only vote multiple times if they had help from somebody who hacked the voter database and thus knew who the dead people were, the unlikely to vote, etc.

It is worth noting that Dennis Montgomery says he was hired by Brennan and Clapper to hack the FL database for the 2012 election - which he did. He did it by finding a non-detectable way to download the database and then upload the altered database. Any audits would say everything was fine because there would be no record of alterations on the new database which would seem like it was the same one as always.

It would also make sense that if the deep state was going to meddle, they would frame somebody else for it, just in case the numbers came out too fishy and aroused suspicion. DHS told AL that there had been attempted “Russian hacks” (code word for CIA, given that they have Russian “electronic fingerprints” that they can leave wherever they want). The AL SOS claims there was nothing done in the “Russian hack” - which may also have been the deep state’s way of trying to get access to the database (except that AL was one of the states who refused the “help” offered by DHS). But that doesn’t negate the possibility that the deep state used what Dennis Montgomery had pioneered, to do the same thing to AL’s voter database. And since the AL SOS had said the database was clean, the deep state would get a free pass on it.

I’m not a computer scientist, but the whole thing does seem fishy to me.

The fact that the FBI gave Montgomery immunity for his evidence/testimony AND THEN SAT ON IT SO THAT NO REAL INVESTIGATION WOULD EVER BE DONE is unconscionable. Dirty cops, indeed. What I want to know is what manipulations they bought themselves time to do, by that stalling...

Just stating facts.

If you can prove your allegations, go for it.
I look forward to Moore being announced the Winner once the Election results are certified.

Moore had too much going against him and he lost, period.

It’s over. I don’t like it and you don’t like it but it is what it is but hey, I might win the Powerball Lottery.

Cough cough...

92%.

More is credited with getting out over 50% of the November 2016 vote.
That is about par for the course.

Find one more special election where 92% of the last general election
voters showed up from either party.

Any candidate that wouldn’t suspect some election tampering after a
92% percent showing compared to the last general election, would be
exhibiting the same intelligence you are showing here.

Despite all that, my biggest complaint about Moore is that he is thoroughly unsuited for a political position in a legislative body.

That's not a criticism of him, by the way. He doesn't have the background, the personality or the understanding of a legislative process to function in that kind of role. Most people who serve in executive roles in government and private industry will tell you the same thing about themselves.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie was once asked if he'd run for one of the state's U.S. Senate seats after he was no longer able to run for governor again due to our term limits here. He didn't just say "No" ... he said "Hell no!" -- and explained that he'd last through two hours on his first day in the Senate with a bunch of useless misfits before he went out and drowned himself in the Potomac River (seriously). LOL.

They could have appointed an aggressive AG that didn’t have to recuse himself and retrained the safe Senate Seat with Sessions still there. His appointment was a big mistake, but hindsight is still hindsight. I will bet that if he had to do it all over, he would have chosen someone else for AG and avoided all this.

Moore isn’t primarily needed for his legislative ability.

He is needed because he is not part of the swamp and has the courage to say things the swamp doesn’t want anybody to say, and to introduce measures that would expose the whole stinkin’ lot of them.

Trump is a loose cannon. And he couldn’t possibly have come at a better time. What we need when the deck is stacked against any fresh air to clean out the swamp, is a loose cannon. Trump can’t do it alone. Trump and Nunes can’t do it alone.

It’s way past time for people to realize that what the deep state/media/uniparty considers “embarrassing” is EXACTLY what is needed.

And the fact that the majority of voters in this whole country can’t recognize that is the sad, sad lesson of this election and all the lead-up and response.

The problem is that Alabama doesn’t publish voter registration data by political affiliation. If 40% of the state’s voters are registered Democrats (which is certainly a good possibility in a state where more than 25% of the population is black), then Hillary Clinton’s 34% performance in 2016 was likely a case of miserable Democrat turnout last year. So getting 92% of the 2016 turnout in 2017 is hardly a shock.
