Re: [Breaking] Doug Jones won AL Senate Special election
 

This is a Freebie for the Dems that's 100% Trump's fault. He took Jeff Sessions away and supported Moore!

I gotta be honest though earlier in the evening I was not optimistic because Moore was up by a bunch but the NY Times still had Jones the probable winner at 75% confidence so I dug in deeper and it turned out the rural areas' results (ie. hillbillies) were counted first.

Keep hope alive fellow Dreamers. Good things are very slowly coming.

Re: [Breaking] Doug Jones won AL Senate Special election
 

There is a multitude of things involved here. For example, before Durbin, needed to find 12 republicans. Now he only needs 11. (edit: assuming DA isn't passed this year)

Because GOP lost one more vote for tax bill, there is even more pressure to keep Flake happy (that is if they don't pass the tax bill before Jones is sworn in). Because they have less room for error, they'll likely try to pass the tax bill before Jones is sworn in, which means Flake, Collins, and Corker have a lot more leverage.

I just heard on the radio vote counting is not finished yet. The districts left are heavily red. Let's wait and see before getting excited.

Re: [Breaking] Doug Jones won AL Senate Special election
 

the red districts maxed out early at 100%

if there are votes left to count, its from the blue counties.

Exactly I cannot believe NYT would announce so quickly. If the margin is low we have to do recount. So people wait till final announcement. Otherwise you are just spreading false news. Don’t be Trump. Be accurate

All the networks called it. Stop being a pansy !

Re: [Breaking] Doug Jones won AL Senate Special election
 

Honestly he supported Strange at first, Kiddyfiddler got in because Bannon claimed that Trump supported Kiddyfiddler.

Also hillbillies get counted first because there's simply less of them, that's why you have counties with like 5000 people in it report near instantly and places like Birmingham are still counting (though place is already called for Doug even if every single vote left to verify is for the pedo).

Definitely poetic justice that Sessions gave up his seat to be the court jester and his seat will not be occupied by a democrat.

Just so y'all understand how crazy this is... let me show you the results of the last election for this senate seat:

Re: [Breaking] Doug Jones won AL Senate Special election
 

nah, the red counties are already maxed out at 100%.

if there are votes left to count, its from montgomery, selma, and other blue counties.

do the math.

Re: [Breaking] Doug Jones won AL Senate Special election
 

There is a difference between doing the math vs official announcement. We should not declare winning (not even Jones himself).
