Alabama elected a new United States Senator sixteen days ago on December 12th. The election was a nasty affair in which a devout racist and homophobe who has twice been removed from the state's supreme court for failing to follow the Constitution ran against a prosecutor known for convicting racists and terrorists. It should have been a no-brainer for Alabama, but somehow the civil rights lawyer managed to win.
Roy Moore, the twice-rebuffed Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, refused to concede. Alabama is a white man's state, and Roy had it on good authority that blacks had voted in the election - and probably some of them gays, as well. It was outrageous! Roy wanted a recount, but Doug Jones' margin of victory was big enough to preclude a mandatory recount.
Now Roy Moore is headed to court to sue and try to block his opponent from being declared the winner. He is still shouting about election fraud, but now instead of demanding a recount (which Moore would have to pay for), he is asking for a re-do. Moore says he was the victim of "systematic voter fraud." What is more likely is that he is the product of "systematic voter fraud."
Yup. Roy wants a new election. He has probably found a few cemeteries that were under-counted last time and is planning to leave no plot un-voted this time around.
Good luck with that, Roy. Meanwhile, why don't you crawl off into the woods and suck on a few sour apples while the rest of the world welcomes Doug Jones to the United States Senate. And always remember, Roy, Doug would have never gotten there without you. Thanks for giving Alabamans a reason to vote Democratic!
