Regardless of what happens in Alabama tonight, one thing's for certain: there are gonna be a lot of hella awkward "bearing false witness" conversations in the afterlife among those who contorted themselves into defending a child molester.

Its probably needed, but Nate Silver opened up 538's coverage with a bucket of cold water, basically going "hey guys, yeah Jones has a chance, but its still Alabama."

Aidan_702 posted:As an non-America I read it as ‘30% of black voters turned out’ rather than ‘30% of voters were black’. About 13% of America is black and about 70% is white. Those populations aren’t evenly distributed (more Americans in the south are black than in other places) but it’s a statistical reality that people outside of America don’t always hear about when they learn about our horrible racism.

Should Jones win the RWM already have their talking point - the Republican-signed initiative that allowed people with felonies to become eligible to vote again. Guess which felons they'll focus on.

Suuuuure. Just like after 2012 how the GOP went "y'know, maybe we shouldn't be so goddamn racist." For about 30 seconds, and here we are today, with literal Nazis running around.

That's not bearing false witness, because they could very well believe it. It has more along the lines of the Doubting Thomas, although it could be the Denials of Peter. But it's not bearing false witness.
