Congrats to the Ayatollah of Alabama.

Ugh. Moore is a disgrace who should be nowhere near elective office let alone the friggin' US Senate. He was too extreme for Bill Pryor. Ayatollah of Alabama indeed

I'm hoping that someone pinches me, and I wake up to a world where American politics is sane

Something for all Alabama voters to consider: https://dougjonesforsenate.com/

Jones has my endorsement and I hope to see a landslide for Jones in the general election.

I'm about the only one here.

[Alabama_Indy10]

One GIGANTIC leap BACKWARDS for America. Christ, a man who openly discriminates against the LGBT community, denies evolution, an avid bible-thumper, and an active proponent of the birther community is about to become a senator. Even Marine Le Pen would be horrified.

What's wrong with this?

I like how you ignored the rest of his reasons and picked that one to take a stand on.

Anyway, one can only hope that the Ayatollah from Talladega becomes a swamp creature, or perhaps retires early for health reasons, because that would be much better than this.

Because that's the only one I don't have a problem with. I'm glad you liked it.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Keep sending your best, Alabama.

Moore wins Tuscaloosa 54-46.  Now we have some random county (Sumter) going 60-40 for Strange!  Any ideas what in the world is going on there?

Sumter County for Strange.

Jefferson is the only Strange-area left - Madison County, Shelby County, and Sumter County are all 100% in.

Any explanations on Sumter County?

It knows better than to vote for someone who was twice expelled from the Supreme Court. It voted for Strange in round 1 as well: 53% Strange 32% Moore 9% Brooks

He's talking about non-traditional candidates like Moore and Trump..

[JonHawk]

Hopefully Moore wins it in the general *fingers cross*

[136or142]

Any chance during the Special Election that Roy Moore will spend his time trying to re-litigate on the campaign trail the Eric Robert Rudolph case?

[AtorBoltox]

My point is that Moore, Trump etc are the faces of the Republican party in 2017. I have no idea what Alabama Indy is trying to say. Please stop speaking gibberish

It's a Black Belt county that voted 74.0% for Clinton in 2016. May be voting for the more moderate candidate or the candidate they view as more beatable.

Oh sure, but 7 state legislative seats flipping doesn't just happen by accident.  This is clearly a case of Democrats expressing their being 'butt hurt' by losing the Presidency to Trump by butt whupping Republicans in elections.

Jefferson pouring in, narrowing things somewhat.

[Anna Komnene]

I mean it's not like Strange is a fountain of love and tolerance. He probably agrees with Moore on most of the issues anyway, so I'm not sure that this election says all that much about AL republicans. Tbf, Strange was a swamp creature propped up by a corrupt establishment and I can see why people would want to vote for the other guy even if that other guy probably thinks I am worse than trash. It's not like Strange doesn't secretly agree.

What about Karen Handel defeating the next President of the United States Jon Ossoff in "muh educated white district." Flip the 6th!

Well see what happens come November 2018, but I hope you keep telling yourself that until then.
