They're rigging for Moore, voting machines mysteriously broken in black precincts, etc. I mean, imagine who ALABAMA puts in charge of voting policy. Also there is no GOTV for Democrats in Alabama because why would they have one?

AL Supreme Court, without a hearing, stayed a lower courts order that ballots not be destroyed after the election.

You don't even need to take a minute for that to sink in.

People think Moore is going to lose because of polling or? I haven't been following it much lately.

Remember, like with Trump, that people are reluctant to admit TO MEDIA LIBERALS (pollsters) that they're voting/voted for racist child superpredators

Well here comes Charles Barkley putting on a Superman cape. Maybe he can help tip the scales a bit.

If Jones wins, somehow there's going to be a lot of 2p2ers who bet Moore but made money anyway.

Not a politics expert but my rationale was that Republicans historically win in Alabama so absent anything crazy happening a republican will win again

Odds here are nice because some people think being a sex offender or whatever= “something crazy happening” but I think the general public is desensitized to it nowadays where basically everyone ever is being accused of rape etc etc

or they keep making it more difficult for blacks to vote because they totally keep doing that. Longer lines to make people just leave; put people as "inactive" even if they voted in last election, then you need your birth county. County, gl remembering that olds. (both of these I've seen on twitter already)

Akin in missouri is the most recent example I can think of, he was up 4 points then got clowned. I do think Jones odds are a bit too high myself as well atm but we'll see.

Seems like the exact opposite to me - general public, for the first time ever, is sensitized to the issues of sexual assault. It's not that big of a deal in the context of an election because the republicans are morally bankrupt and exist solely to oppose the democrats and not improve society by keeping bad people out of office.

I think he means HE doesn't care about sexual assault.

In Politics we call this "telling on yourself."

That's nothing, the current Secretary of the Interior had a horse trucked to DC so he could do that.
