BREAKING: Democrat Doug Jones Upsets and Wins in Alabama

This is a developing story. Return to this post for updates.

UPDATE

For the first time in 25 years, Alabama has
elected a Democrat to the United States Senate.


Doug Jones has defeated the heavy-baggage, Trump-supported Roy Moore.

A big defeat for the economic nationalist Steve Bannon.

UPDATE 2

Interesting stats:


Charles Brakeley had a lot to do with this. He campaigned for Jones heavily in his native state. Expect him to run for office in the near future. But note: During an interview with CNN, after the Jones victory was declared, he sounded much more lefty than he has in the past.

UPDATE UPDATE 3

Roy Moore signals he will not concede and points to automatic recount provision.

  1. What? How could this happen? How could people not elect the pederast? Trump's fellow traveler? The choice was soooo clear!

  3. This is probably a marginal step in favor of liberty. The more that power is evenly balanced between the Evil Party and the Stupid Party, the greater the chance of gridlock. Unless they pass bipartisan legislation which, as someone once said, means the legislation would be both evil and stupid.

  4. I assume Luther Strange is just another milquetoast and warmongering R, so this election proves two negatives (Moore and Strange) don't make a positive: Jones
