McConnel and Bannon both survived to continue their proxy war in the med-term elections.
And then there is this . . .
http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/201...not_to_de.htmlLate Monday night, the Alabama Supreme Court stayed the Montgomery County Circuit Court's order earlier that day directing Alabama election officials to preserve digital ballot images during Tuesday's Senate election.
So basically, all electronic ballots were counted and then the records of them can be destroyed according to the Alabama Supreme Court despite the Alabama law that say they have to be retained for 6 months. Curiouser and curiouser . . .

I have seen some wild conspiracy theories in my time.
The idea that the great state of Alabama is conspiring AGAINST Republicans?
That just might take the cake.
Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.
Yeah, I doubt the heavily Republican majority state of Alabama would be working to get a Democrat in. Every office worth a damn is held by a Republican.
A shit candidate was put up, the shit candidate lost. Put in someone better in 2021.

That's because Alabama's Secretary of State, John Merrill, is a fucking garbage person who is terrible at his job and pushed for this policy. He claims they keep the paper ballots so there is no reason to have a digital record, but the cost of maintaining the digitized records is trivial compared to the potential value in an audit or recount. He also got a major election law issue wrong last night when he said that any candidate could request a recount if they paid for it. Turns out that is only true in Alabama for state elections and not for federal office such as a Senate.
Oh and he is also an avowed supporter of Roy Moore.

The election officials were not going to preserve IMAGES. A lower court ordered the election officials from destroying the IMAGES. The Alabama Supreme Court STAYED the lower court's decision that they should preserve the IMAGES so they now can destroy the IMAGES. At no time does the article or I speak about preserving the actual paper voting forms. So, please, by all means keep talking out of your ass.
Also, I didn't suggest a conspiracy, I did present that the court is doing something stupid as hell and likely breaking Alabama state law.
But hey, think what you want without actually reading what was presented.
