What the Media Aren’t Telling You About Tuesday’s Democrat Special Election Victory in Alabama
Breitbart ^ | 03/27/2024 | Jeff poor

Posted on 03/27/2024 6:20:14 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

There is no way of saying that Tuesday’s special election in Alabama was in any way a positive for Republicans.

Democrat Marilyn Lands defeated Republican nominee Madison, Alabama, city councilman Teddy Powell by a 62%-38% blowout margin, an unexpected outcome in a seat only recently considered competitive.

For the first time since 2002, Democrats gained a seat on Republicans in the Alabama Legislature, where Republicans currently have a supermajority in both chambers.

What happened?

On Wednesday, national media are heralding the outcome and tying it to Alabama’s strict abortion ban passed by the legislature in 2019 and a recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling that granted embryos created during in vitro fertilization (IVF) personhood for the sake of civil matters considered by the state’s judiciary.

I just got done reading another article on the same election results (https://1819news.com/news/item/hd10-lands-62-powell-38-after-democrat-special-election-blowout-republicans-asking-what-happened)

As I and others have noted on FR, any election where killing babies is on the ballot, Republicans will lose. Here, more so when the Republican candidate is not a strong candidate and the party doesn't adapt to new technology, strategies, and voting methods.

It’s been almost 2 years since Roe was overturned and republicans still haven’t figured out how to deal with it-stoopid. What else could it be? Why should we be on defense?

It’s a shame how so many women (and some men) will vote Communist just because they support abortion.

Folks can talk all they want about abortion or anything they want. As long the South and other RED are being inundated by liberals and democrats, all the other talk means nothing.

The south and other RED states have Governors, legislatures, chambers of commmerce and other entities that love making secret deals throwing tax money at all of if.

“It’s gonna bring jobs y’all.” 10000% bullsh*t

It all brings liberals and democrats to destroy the next place locust destroying the next field.

But all the GOPe and RINOs make their money.

...and support the Islamic cult because it sounds good even though it masks women, treats them as slaves, marries them off, and mutilates them.

...and homosexuals supporting the Islamic cult that will more likely throw them off roof-tops as to embrace them.

I really think it’s underestimating the support for Roe even in very red states. It was thought these red states would be a firewall against abortion. It mostly hasn’t worked out that way.

Ballots mailed to every registered voter, as one example.

What Republicans should be doing is encourage this among Republicans. Further, work on the laws to strengthen integrity of those mail-in votes. Clean up the voter rolls. Maybe even canvas the voter rolls outing the dead voters, the houses with multiple voters, the bad addresses, and so forth. Have that ready and when those votes are received, challenge them with evidence.

I think they’re using abortion is their red herring to cover up cheating via ballot harvesting. There’s no way in hell with Biden and company having some of the lowest approval ratings, they’re winning everything. Almost 80% of the country says it’s heading in a bad direction, but they’re voting for more of it? Nope—abortion is a convenient excuse as cover.

really.

think about this.

it only takes 3 steps to run an election

vote
count the vote
report vote totals

now look at all the extra steps and tech added to this once simple and timely event.

for what ?

to hide the steal.

why does it take days and months to do

what took hours

before the ‘ advancements” .

An inordinate amount of national abortion money was pumped into her ad campaign. This was not about the 10th House District of AL (full of RSA and yankees).

This was about making child sacrifice look good in the deepest of red states.

Assuming there was no cheating it looks like the Demx out worked Repubs at grassroots level getting people to vote. It didn’t take much since less thsn 6000voted.
If ALL of us don’t work to get out the vote at our local levels it could happen in Nov

Its an unfortunate position for GOP candidates who doom their prospects when the job they seek has nothing to do with abortion. They should just STFU about it unless they are seeking a Supreme Court appointment or a lgislative position in a state likely to ban it.

whatever excuse is given for Republicans losing in most cases is likely a lie.

Dems lie, and do whatever else needed til they get the result they want.

That is just like the lie that the black vote goes 95% rat. The rats use that as an excuse to hide ballot box stuffing.

America is PRO LIFE. PERIOD.
but Republicans are RETARDED. As Rush always said when you frame the narrative you win the argument. We have retards discussing raising the min age for SS in an election year!!! Retards!!!
Every pro life bill excludes rape and incest which means electoral blow out. The dems trott out the hypothetical 12 year old rape victim who will be forced to carry her rapists baby and good by election.
Every one in leadership and elected office now thinks abortion is a losing issue cause Republicans are freaking retards. Lets not eliminate 90% of abortion and celebrate, no no, eliminate it entirely and lose every time.
I’m sure if the babies could talk, that some would give their life so most others could live. It happens in war and tragedy every day. Retardicans will NEVER learn. Alito wrote the absolutely worst opinion ever when overturning Roe.
My right to live IS NOT “up to the ELECTED REPRESENTIVES of the States” you retard. Our constitution does not provide for a right to life for anyone, that was assumed and never put in the constitution, so when you have scum sucking scum bag evil democrats in charge we are all screwed.
Legislating the right to life or abortion has always been available to the Congress without any interference from the good ole constitution cause the wig wearers never bothered to put that in there.
