On the way home from rehearsal this evening I heard in the 10:00 NPR news that in the Alabama special Senate election the race is too close to call with 70% of the vote counted. Even so, I’m going to make the disappointing prediction that the scoundrel (don’t have enough room for all the adjectives) Roy Moore will win. I make that prediction based on a little bit of evidence.
The GOP is cheating.
Come on now. Don’t act so surprised. Infuriated, yes. Surprised, no.
The details:
John Merrill is Secretary of State in Alabama. He was an election monitor in Russia and declared their election to be “free and fair.” It wasn’t. He said he would implement Russian tactics in Alabama.
I previously reported on voter suppression.
Today voters are being turned away because they have been declared “inactive” or told they have the wrong ID.
I would be delighted to wake up tomorrow and hear that my prediction is wrong.
