So the count has it outside that so not likely there will be a recount. We shall see. Interesting. I didn't know this. According a the NY times article: 49.9% in favour of the Democrats, while 48.4% went to the Republicans. I believe that is around 1.5-1.7 So, I suspect you are right that there may not even be a recount. But like you said, we shall see. Quote

There are still absentee/military votes to be counted but it seems the likelihood of the numbers of those will sway the percentage beyond that .5% and if not then no recount. Sorry I meant to say would sway the current #'s very far away from the 1.5% Edited December 13, 2017 by Omni Quote

Moore can also legally request a recount and pay for it. That's funny. I wonder if he will just to draw it out. The spread was 1.5%. Roy Moore is clearly a sore loser. Quote

Jones will face another election in 2020 (Sessions previous term) if he runs again, and it is not a given that the Democrats will win again.

Many Republicans didn't. I don't suspect Jones will be re-elected in 2020. But in 2020 Trump will be facing re-election (assuming he's still in office), so I double people will remember this. What this does do, is making it MUCH easier for the Dems to take back the Senate next year. Edited December 13, 2017 by Boges Quote

GostHacked Posted December 13, 2017 Report Posted December 13, 2017 I expected Moore to loose, and I had no idea who else was running. What a terrible candidate! This thread is over! Because, Canada, Fuck yea! Quote

Boges Posted December 13, 2017 Report Posted December 13, 2017 BTW, How can Trump say he was right about Luther Strange? If he endorsed a candidate that lost either way. Why didn't the GOP nominate Trump's guy then? Quote
