“Moore lost 650 000 Trump voters.”

Because they were too stupid or too whupped by the MSM to vote.

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'll be able to determine fairly easily what registered voters voted and where they voted. Then it's punching numbers into a calculator to make sure that 2+2 = 2+2. I imagine they'll find that the numbers of votes counted matches up close enough to the numbers of registered voters who voted to nullify any claims of fraudulent voting.

That guy on the video misspoke. I don't expect they'll find much, if any at all evidence of voter fraud. What they will find was a massive get-out-the-vote effort by Democratic volunteers who showed up from out of state to knock on doors, man phone banks, raise money, and get every registered likely-democratic voter to their polling place. There's nothing illegal about this.

They'll also find about 650,000 Trump voters who stayed home.

Moore basically said that he didn’t date any teenagers and that he had their mothers’ permission to do so.

Sorry, he can’t have it both ways. It calls into question his veracity.

You have the understanding I have. They destroyed the machine count info but the actual paper ballot marked by the voted is kept for 22 months. Maybe I’m wrong and they have changed procedures.

snip

Digital scans of the ballots cast in Alabama’s special election will not be stored after the polls close Tuesday.

That decision came down from the Alabama Supreme Court which issued a stay Monday, the day prior to the election, overturning a same-day circuit court decision that had required the state to preserve all digital voting records post-election.

Currently, the paper ballots are saved for 22 months after federal elections and six months after local elections....

“The ballots you vote on, which is the only thing you can do to have your vote count in Alabama, are preserved for 22 months after the election, secured under lock and key,” Merrill said.

What about the 105% voters vs eligible voters?

The fallacy in your argument is called “non sequitur”.

I will hammer the turtle-faced bastard any time he deserves it. Stabbing Roy Moore in the back and orchestrating a smear campaign against him certainly warrants hammering. McTurtle’s occasional grudging concession to decency does not protect him from criticism.

Well conservative rural voters stay home because of Al Franken and the other left-wing media then I guess we’re in trouble.
But it was a good month-and-a-half of non-stop well-orchestrated well-timed plot to get Moore to lose and day after day of working on suppressing our vote. Backed up by millions and millions dollars.

It is possible especially in ‘rat controlled counties which is pretty much all of the piss poor “black belt” counties.

They may use the older check in process of paper voter rolls, with a paper book that is signed.

Where I voted it was a 100% digital check in process where the barcode on the back of the license was scanned and my info was digitally compared to what is on the registration rolls. I then signed my name on the device.

Factor in the massive voter intimidation campaign targeting blacks and the fact that jones had his seat bought and paid for by California and New York and yeah there was fraud in this election.

Thanks for that.

Also, it seems like the digital counts could be manipulated with greater ease.

But the whole thing stinks. All those big numbers being reported late from places like Jefferson County...

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.

I made a single post mentioning I was concerned about Moore's electability a couple of weeks before the election. I was immediately jumped on as for being a noob and told to go to DU.

Just call me Cassandra....

So you blame Moore and give McConnell and Shelby a pass?

Are you saying he should have kissed Mitch’s stinkhole?

Amazing how some people who should get it just won’t get it.

But, having worked as a poll worker a few times here in Florida, depending on the precincts, it is possible on a large scale given the opportunities. Did you ever notice it is typically yhe Democrat concentrated precincts that are always very late and last to report, even if they are right next door to the SoE office?

The digital ‘pictures’ were deleted but the optical paper ballots/records have to be kept for a time. Those can be counted and compared against the “digital totals”. If you remember that one Detroit district ballot box in 2016 marked “306 ballots all for Hillary” but when the seal was opened, there were only 50 ballots. The ballots were all scanned about 6 times each to pad Hillary’s totals. That’s why the recount was shut down in Michigan...the vote fraud being discovered would have rocked the nation. And that is how they cheat.

That idiot who on video tape stated that he and others came from out of state to vote in Alabama has also opened a can of worms. Moore should never concede even if Jones goes to the senate.

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

I am not an idiot, but live in Alabama. I voted for Moore. I believe him. If that makes me an idiot in your eyes, well that's where the problem lies.

And where do you live? I’m getting rather tired of out of state people telling us Alabamians how to conduct our affairs. Mighty tired of it.

And you out of staters can’t have a say in our elections, either.
