0.5% triggers a recount. Right now Jones has a 1.1% lead. Only a 25% turnout in Alabama so far tonight.

Moore loses by over 20,000 votes. The GOP had an excellent candidate for the Senate (Mo Brooks) and pissed it away by backing Big Luther.

This seat will up for grabs again in 2 years.

I'm sure this is all due to my move to Tuscaloosa.

And hell has frozen over. A democrat wins a statewide election to the federal government in Alabama. First time since 1992.

He'll do that right after Trump follows through on his claim to sue his accusers for defamation.

FTR if I lived in Alabama there is now way in hell I would have voted for Moore and the accusations against him would have had nothing to do with it.

I'd measure this race as equal parts collusion between D and R leaders. I don't think Moore was a good candidate, however, I think the claims were, sketchy from the start. McConnell should be fired.

Doesn't sound like Moore is going to go gentle into that good night. Will probably fund a recount. After all, he's doing God's work and all.

I wonder, after what he just said to his followers, if he will concede that him losing was part of God's plan.

Yup. Moore should, but probably won’t, just go away. I’m betting he goes for a recount and ties this thing up. Two terrible choices........kinda like last November.....

He seemed to think there would be an automatic recount. Not likely. God hates him.

Like ip said. If the GOP **** up a Senate race in AL, that says all you need to know about the candidate. Moore was unfit to hold that office.

Correct. Just run a competent, non-pedophile, and the GOP will win comfortably.

There should be a poll test so an ignoramus like yourself can't vote.

Works for me. Then we can ask "Is Roy Moore a pedophile?" To filter out LIVs like you and Nolan. We need a better electorate, y'all are too easily(even willingly) misled.
