Mentioned "military ballots that have not yet been counted."
Sounds like they're planning to stage their old standby: ballot stuffing.

(47,107 posts)and this election. Hard to imagine AL state officials wanting that kind of scrutiny.
I think they are going to have to let this one go and call it a night.

(21,636 posts)My guess is that as we speak, Moore's minions and the AL Sec. of State are discussing ways of tossing those.

(46,166 posts)And given how McConnell dodged a bullet tonight they might just decide to go quietly into the night.

(21,636 posts)Democrats and Bitchy Mitchy, pulling in the same direction.

(46,166 posts)Even though he, no doubt, prayed that Moore would lose. It makes him appear like such an jerk. I can just hear him grunting as he tries to kick his own ass. "Leader" - meh.
Now I hope that the tax bill is in deep jeopardy!

(21,636 posts)We had better keep a close eye on Alabama Republicans - especially Sec. of State John Merrill.
You can't trust these southern-fried right-wingers any further than you can throw them.
Meantime, what a great night tonight!

(5,269 posts)Says certification will be complete no later than Jan 3 2018 and highly unlikely enough military ballots could change results and all absentee ballots have already been counted

(89,250 posts)he might be a republican but from watching him he seems to feel the results are accurate and the system worked just fine.

They don't have internet, I guess, don't watch T-V either.

(21,636 posts)We had better keep a close eye on this - particuarly that Sec. of State John Merrill.

(11,915 posts)They'd have to come up with a lot of stuff ballots. DOD lists stateside active duty as just over 7000.
sandensea
(21,636 posts)Moore isn't likely to get more than 2,000 net votes out of that total (Jones is up 21,000 at the moment) - and who knows: they may actually end up adding to Jones's margin slightly.
