John Merrill says turnout 'right on target' for 25 percent in Alabama Senate race

http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2017/12/john_merrill_says_turnout_righ.html

Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill said indications are his earlier projection of a 25 percent voter turnout today was pretty accurate.

"It looks like we're probably right on target," Merrill said.

Voters are choosing between Democrat Doug Jones and Republican Roy Moore today in the special election for the U.S. Senate.

Asked if there are any specifics about high or low turnout that stand out, Merrill said areas of strong turnout that favor one candidate will likely be offset by strong turnout that favors the other.

"I'm hearing that the turnout in certain areas that might benefit Doug Jones are complemented by heavy turnout in other areas, in some rural parts of the state that would probably complement Judge Moore. So I think that's going to balance itself out if that trend continues," Merrill said.

If the 25 percent projection stand up, it will far exceed the turnout for the primaries and the Republican runoff in the Senate race...

Roy Moore and a buddy are talking. Moore says “I’m Jesus Christ.”

His buddy cocked an eye at him and says, “You’re crazy!”

“I can prove it,” Moore says. His buddy says, “Okay, I’ll bite, prove it.”

Moore takes him into a bar, bartender says, “Jesus Christ, are you back again?!”

 

Hey, gimme a break I’m bored. Just killing some time till the polls close...

Good God, let's just get this over with.

Roy Moore is talking to a friend and says "You know I am Jesus Christ, right". His friend says "No way". Moore says "I can prove it. Follow me". They walk down to the local mall and walk through the door. The security guard yells "Jesus Christ! You aren't allowed in here".

I think there are a few waiting until this is over. Most of them were part of the never-Trump caucus (as I was) and settled down after that election, so if Moore pulls this one out, I imagine they'll do the same.

    I disagree @jmyrlefuller I think he'll win and the drama over him will continue, possibly with Mitch fanning the flames.  Some Briefers feel very strongly about this, personally being a non Alabama resident I am in the benevolent column, to all's concerns here.

@corbe

It was on the news, if Moore wins, the Senate Republican group will meet tomorrow to decide what to do about him.  If the man wins, they will be on him fast to do something to him. I have never heard of this happening in all my years of politics.

Mitch and the leadership will instantly refer him for ethics investigation, and then refuse to seat him on any committees.  He will only be a floor vote, and nothing else.  They will do everything they can to reject him from the body, and it will do severe damage to the Party.

If those jerks think they have the ability to overturn an election they will get a swift lesson in NO YOU CAN'T!
