I'm not interested in Roy Moore. All that matters to me is the CRIME. Massive voter fraud destroys our country. I don't care who wins. I usually do a write in for "Dead Tree Stump."

The only people who believe in widespread massive voting fraud happens to be the GOP. the same group that created the voting fraud lie

The same people who backed the birther lie

I didn't like either of them. Dead tree stump mon.

People were bussed in from adjacent states. It's common knowledge to those who can step out from behind their own shadows. You should try it.

This has to be sarcasm, cause you don't sound like the old Nietsche13.

For 20-odd hours, Virginia Democrats were giddy with the news that a recount had delivered Shelly Simonds a seat in the House of Delegates with a victory margin of a single vote. The Democratic win would mean a 50-50 party split in the House of Delegates, ending 17 years of Republican control and forcing a rare power-sharing agreement.

Republican leaders issued a statement congratulating Simonds. Democrats began dreaming about the possibility of expanding Medicaid and increasing the minimum wage. All that appeared to be left was the official certification of the vote by three-judge panel on Wednesday.

But the Democratic giddiness came to an abrupt end when the judges declared that one uncounted ballot should go to David Yancey, the Republican incumbent. That decision left both candidates with 11,608 votes: a tie.

"While it appeared yesterday that Shelly Simonds was elected, it's obvious now that the result will remain unclear for a while longer," Virginia House GOP leaders Kirk Cox, Tim Hugo and Nick Rush said in a statement.

The Republican leaders said that during the recount, an over-vote on one ballot — where a voter has marked more than one valid choice — had not been counted for either candidate. A Republican official and recount observer believed the vote was clearly for Yancey, but the Republicans say a Democratic official had persuaded the Republican observer not to count the ballot. Then this morning, the Republican wrote to the recount court saying he had made the wrong decision and the vote should count for Yancey.

Virginia law says the state election board shall "determine by lot which of the candidates shall be declared elected." And it gets even better: Whoever is the loser after the lots are drawn could potentially then ask for another recount of the original ballots.

In other words, it appears likely that control of Virginia's House of Delegates will come down to a game of chance.

That's quite a comedown for Virginia Democrats. Their gubernatorial candidate, Ralph Northam, won an easy victory in last month's election, which also saw the party pick up at least 15 seats in the House of Delegates, in part because of voters' unhappiness with President Trump.

the fix is in.

the fix is in.

Remember when Hillary won three coin flips in a row to win against Sanders/

^^^ that shit is the left successfully meme'ing. If only the left could have learned to meme earlier we wouldn't be in this mess. Ever think about THAT @HomerThompson ???

Sorry to play spoiler, but that's just black people doggie. Roasting people is part of our culture.

 

[luckyshot]

DUDER, Jones won. LOL

Are you shitting me?

Is it not likely that running a known crazy person and accused pedophile would depress voter turnout?

Or is your view of Alabama Republicans so low that you won’t even credit them with that?

I heard rumors that the GOP limo'ed in a voter to swing the election.
