I'm sure Moore is in some kind of fugue state right now because he had 100% confidence God would give him victory and that didn't happen.

At least we're not the Thalmor (yet)
Alabama SoS: "yeah if Moore pays for a recount we'll do it, there almost certainly aren't that many military ballots, and write-in votes must be registered candidates" which means probably 0 of them count.

If write ins get tossed because the candidate wasn't a valid choice, wouldn't that increase Jones' margin?

There's more write-ins than Jone's winning vote count. I look forward to the "WRITE IN LOSE MOORE THE VOTE" craziness too.

Both national and now even state Republicans want Moore to disappear off the face of the earth. This literally could not have gone worse for them, losing even after their last minute reattachment to his campaign

He's not getting the public exoneration he's been subconsciously praying for since the scandal emerged. Had he won, he'd more easily have been able to suppress the little nagging in the back of his mind reminding him he may have done something wrong to some very young people.

Hoping that the promising Virginia/Alabama results could be the first catalysts of a much bigger movement that has a powerful global knock-on effect. Feels like there's potentially some light at the end of this dark-rear end tunnel.

That SoS for Alabama has a look of "man I don't want to be here right now, I'm going to have so many drat questions about this poo poo and Roy Moore is done can't we just move on" while giving by-the-book answers on those CNN questions.

I had no faith in the GOP (still don't) after seeing Trump's sexual assault get brushed off so easily. Thank god black voters (and younger voters in general, it seems?) got out in droves for Jones.
