We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
The moore stream is showing the livestream of the Doug Jones party on the main screen. The Jones party just finished a track by Lil Jon and is playing another one.

Doug Jones: "lol no"

Calling him "Senator-elect" though is a good sign that Republicans are not prepared to contest the victory.

they just plan on not seating him until after the tax bill is rammed through both chambers

Given the high teens popularity of the AHCA and Tax Abomination bill, Jones may well end up voting alongside the popular Republican voice.

From the 538 blog, should we worry about this?

quote:

With 97 percent of precincts reporting, Jones has a margin of 0.7 points over Moore, and the share of write-in votes is more than double that, at around 1.7 percent. Who were people writing in? If that difference holds, we’ll know in due time. In 2016, the Alabama state legislature passed a law requiring the write-in votes to be tallied if the share of write-ins exceeds the margin between the first- and second-place candidates — exactly the situation we’re in now.

How long can the Republicans legally delay Jones taking his seat? If they really wanted to stretch it out, are we talking days, weeks, a month? It's not just McConnell, the Alabama state government has to certify the election.

McConnell pretty much can't do poo poo. The delay will come from Alabama counties finalizing the results and the Alabama SoS not certifying the paperwork immediately. Once Jones has the paperwork McConnel can't keep him from being seated as soon as he wants to be.

The longest they could delay is until about the 2nd, but keep in mind that a two week delay from being elected to being seated is pretty standard.
