Kiddie Fucker and Two Scoops are going to drag this out to the bitter end spitting and clawing every inch of the way in the courts. Guarantee they're going to dive into batshit crazy land and drag their followers with them. You think Donnie's conspiracy theories about illegal votes are bad when he wins? His ego got bruised with this. loving buckle up mother fuckers, poo poo's gonna get wild.

In case someone gets worried about this (me): Mandatory recount is when the race is within 0.5%.

Jones is currently up 1.5% after another chunk of Birmingham (D-town) came in and more is still out.

The only exception:

They think the military absented ballots are going to save them. Do they have the slightest idea how small a voting bloc the military is? More than that most of those people were probably too lazy to fill one out.

The good news that may counter this is...Charles Barkley just closed his CNN interview telling the Dems that Jones winning should tell them to stop taking for granted Black and Poor White voters and to get off their asses.
Uh, I'm pretty sure poor whites went hard for Moore if exit polling is correct. This was purely black turnout keeping an insane racist pedo theocrat out of the Senate.

quote:

Under Alabama state law, a recount is automatically ordered when a candidate wins by no more than 0.5 percent of all votes cast for the office. Automatic recounts must begin within 72 hours after results are certified.

Also I'm going to guess they don't have enough military ballots even outstanding to tip a 20,000 vote margin if they went 100% Moore

"The people of Alabama have spoken tonight. They’ve made their voice heard loud and clear. The most important thing to remember now is the process needs to be followed to ensure that the integrity, the safety and security of the election is preserved," Merrill said.

The election will be certified no earlier than Dec. 26 and no later than the Jan. 3.

If the margin is within 1%, it triggers an automatic recount. So far, Jones is leading by more than that.

However, there are still votes to be counted, including absentee ballots.

CNN's Jake Tapper asked Merrill: "Do you expect anything other than Mr. Jones being the next senator from the state of Alabama?"

"I would find that highly unlikely to occur, Jake," Merrill said.

"One of the things that is obviously recognized by using the equipment that we use in the elections process is that there's not a whole lot of mistakes that are made," he added
.

Merrill is the Alabama SecState.

Hate to interrupt Alabama chat but USA Today had an absolutely brutal editorial on Trump, coming from a paper that tries to be pretty nonpartisan.

Also, they released the emails from the FBI agents calling Trump an idiot so I'm a little surprised he has been so quiet.

quote:

With his latest tweet, clearly implying that a United States senator would trade sexual favors for campaign cash, President Trump has shown he is not fit for office. Rock bottom is no impediment for a president who can always find room for a new low.

A president who would all but call Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand a whore is not fit to clean the toilets in the Barack Obama Presidential Library or to shine the shoes of George W. Bush.

This isn’t about the policy differences we have with all presidents or our disappointment in some of their decisions. Obama and Bush both failed in many ways. They broke promises and told untruths, but the basic decency of each man was never in doubt.

Donald Trump, the man, on the other hand, is uniquely awful. His sickening behavior is corrosive to the enterprise of a shared governance based on common values and the consent of the governed.

A source close to the White House says tonight's result is "devastating for the President."

"This is an earthquake," the source said. "It's Virginia but on steroids."

This source put some of the blame on Steve Bannon. "The President has egg on his face," because of Bannon, the source added.

Bannon told Trump if Moore lost, Democrats would feel emboldened to go after the President on sexual harassment issues, this source who is familiar with Bannon's pleas to Trump explained.

"That's why Trump had to do this," the source continued.

"The President invested his political capital and it blew up in his face," the source added

A separate source who advises the White House said "this is bad."

"The RNC and White House political shop must feel uneasy about their futures," this source added.

I bet they move on pretty quick to the FBI Agent texts. Trump will see those in the morning on Fox and Friends and start yelling about them to change the subject.
