they run a risk of having all their election rigging being exposed. You don't hear about how the more than 5,000 provisional ballots came out, did you? I would bet my left arm that 90% or more were for Jones - if the election had been closer, they would have tried to not count the provisionals.

In an election with only 1 contest and where only 2 people (Moore, Jones) had a realistic chance to win, 22, 852 people made a trek to the polls to write in a name and cast their vote for other than those two candidates.

But they made a real statement by showing up and denying Moore, assuming the vast majority of write-ins came from Republican voters, their vote.

Bussing all those extra voters in from out of state worked! Thank you George Soros for paying all those bus fares.

For finding 300 commercially licensed bus drivers with airbrake certifications on a moment's notice, and getting them all to keep their mouths shut. But where did they find those buses? Megabus only has about 225 in the US.

Still surprised that nobody got a picture of the convoy -- it was over 2.5 miles long!

Being smart enough to buy invisible buses that made the people in them invisible until well after they voted.

I’m fact, what Willie Brown did in the California state assembly in 1995 is instructive. Democrat could make an “independent Republican” the majority leader. Imagine that.
