This one is worth watching. The raw count is misleading. Watch the urban precincts.

Nate Silver is throwing shade on his former employer. Says their analytics is not reliable.

That said GOP turnout looks low per fivethirtyeight.

Wow, I've been expecting a Moore victory pretty much the whole time.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

So surprising - cynical me had just assumed a Moore victory.

Well, on the bright side for Moore he can retire from politics and spend more time with someone’s kid.


(I kid, I kid. I hope he doesn’t do that)

Maybe he can get on the planning commission and keep them from tearing out the shopping malls.

Now that the election is over, let's hope there will be a fair and reasonably thorough investigation into the various sexual harassment allegations leveled against Roy Moore, be it be justice for Roy Moore or justice for the victims.

I heard Alabama football coach Nick Saban had more write-in votes than the gap between Jones and Moore.

Moore sues teh wimmenz.
Quote:
 
Failed Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore says the women who accused him of sexual assault were part of a political conspiracy, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

The suit was jointly filed with his wife, Kayla, about an hour before the two held a news conference. It was Moore's first public appearance since election night in December, when Moore, a Republican, was upset by Democrat Doug Jones. The defendants include three women who made accusations against Moore as well as two other people.

"This was filed because the people of Alabama deserve to know the truth," said Melissa Isaak, an attorney representing Moore. "The accusations made against Judge Moore during the US Senate campaign arose from a political conspiracy to destroy his personal reputation and defeat him in the special Senate election for United States Senate."

The suit is asking for compensatory damages from all defendants listed along with interest from the date of the injuries and the court costs. The suit is also asking for punitive damages "in an amount that will adequately reflect the enormity of the defendants' wrongful, outrageous acts" and an amount that will prevent similar acts.

Isaak said the accusations against Moore came from three women -- Leigh Corfman, Beverly Nelson and Tina Johnson -- not nine "as the press would have you believe." She noted the accusations were also made days within each other and came out 32 days before the December election.

"They were made for no other reason than to destroy his character," she said, adding that people must look at the time and context of the allegations made.

"If someone was sexually abused, I believe the last thing they'd do is speak with The Washington Post," she said.

Isaak said the defendants have ties to each other and the Democratic Party.

The complaint says during his 40 years in public office, no "suggestion of personal impropriety" had ever been raised against Moore.

The complaint also says the "liberal media" was eager to bury Moore's candidacy and has repeated over and over that nine women accused Moore.

"In fact only three women alleged improper conduct," the complaint reads.
