One more left-wing, crazy anti-gun baby-killer Trump political assassin the Congress. All on a smear from 40 years ago.

Great going idiots in Alabama. Hope you all are happy down there.

That will be nothing as the Alabama Supreme Court ordered the ballots shredded.

I cannot believe that the whole state of Alabama did not have a available a better pro-life, traditional values candidate than Roy Moore. You could get thousands of people off the street who would be better candidates.

If the SoS determines there were illegal outside voters active in the election, I would think the could invalidate the whole thing.

Moore lost 650 000 Trump voters.

That’s why he lost.

The idea of widespread voter fraud would be more believable in a leftist-run state, but Alabama has tough election procedures to prevent such a thing from happening.

They didn’t really order it.

They ruled to ALLOW the ballot destruction.

I have no idea why.

It would seem keeping them around for two weeks up to a month would be reasoned in all elections.

The paper ballots are kept for about 22 months, if memory serves.

The digital copies of said paper ballots are not kept, but that’s what is counted.

“Moore lost 650 000 Trump voters.”

Or did voters buy into the democrat playbook that accuses everyone who stands in their way of being a criminal?

But the voter fraud case has not even been made. I think Moore is smart to not have conceded yet. Let the Demonrats sweat it out.

It wasn't a matter of being pro life and traditional values in Alabama. Everyone already knew he would stand in the well of the Senate and gives speeches every week calling them baby killers and sodomites. If a man slept with a woman not his wife, they would be called out as an adulterer or fornicator. He would match a Bible verse with these statements and they couldn't even think about people hearing the actual word of God every day. Most people today don't care that much for fire and brimstone preachers. They have been convinced that God has changed His mind about Sodom and Gomorrah and Molech.

The people that call evil; good, and good; evil, would be exposed to the light of the Word of God and they may not look so holy anymore. He would remind them every day how the world has itchy ears that liberals will scratch.

Was that a democrat playbook or a Mitch McConnell playbook?

Everyone has a past.

They take one item and blow it way our of proportion.

Doug Jones was a liberal who went to college in the mid-70s?

Ask him about drug use.

Note that nobody did that.

But if they had, one or two incidents could have been easily turned into something.

But did they?

Nope. Just to Moore.

Republicans are saps. They get rolled by the Rat gangbangers all the time. People who have so much dirt in their own past it defies reason. Think Bill Clinton. But they’re psychopathic liars and it doesn’t even bother them. In fact, they think it’s funny that they can pull this crap off on people.

Roy Moore should be Senator Roy Moore right now and Leigh Corfman should be explaining where she got the cash from.
