Alabama Megathread 3: Results Thread

There is a huge difference between both parties. I doubt if a Democrat could get away with what Moore is accused of in any state, even in Vermont.

The evangelical church believes it is under full scale attack by the left.  They are feeling minority status.  They are voting like minorities generally do.

I go to weekly Bible study where I am probably the most liberal person in the group.

When I came to this area in 1977 I was about the only Republican around.

I tell you one thing, it's hard for me to actually have feelings for them.

If I were an Alabama republican, I would write-in Strange. No vote for the (likely) pedo, and no vote for a Democrat. Problem solved.

Possibly, the Alabama Republican voters are probably smarter than given credit for (although that may not say much). Maybe they think that if too many of them write another candidate in, they'll act as major spoilers and that will cause Jones, a f[inks]ing Democrat, to ultimately come out victorious.  Just a thought.

A speaker at the Moore rally just admitted to visiting a sex club filled with underage girls with Moore in tow. We are so beyond parody at this point.

I want to believe that enough Alabamians will see how ridiculous this sh!t is, but I can't until I see it.

Gianforte body slamming a reporter in Montana days before the election up there didn't impact that election and White Alabamians are taking Moore's alleged pedophilia even better than Montanans took the body slam, so I doubt it would have any effect.

That was one day before election day and btw, most of the ballots were already turned in before that incident.

Anybody on Twitter reporting turnout? Yes it's early, but still. I'm quite anxious about all of this actually.
