VIDEOS: The Swamp Comes to Alabama and a Democrat Wins!

The Daily Signal’s Rachel del Guidice reports:

Democrat Doug Jones beat Republican Roy Moore in Tuesday’s special election in Alabama’s U.S. Senate race.

Prior to the allegations of sexual misconduct Moore faced, the state was seen as an almost sure win for a Republican candidate. President Donald Trump won Alabama by almost 28 percentage points in 2016 and there has not been a Democrat senator in 25 years representing the solidly red state.

With 93 percent of the precincts reporting, Jones had 49.6 percent of the vote, or 602,515 votes, while Moore had 48.8 percent, or 592,729 votes, according to The New York Times.

A Jones win will hurt the conservative agenda, Brian Darling, a former staffer for Sen. Rand Paul, said in an email to The Daily Signal.

“This development empowers the moderates in the Senate in a way that will halt progress on a free market conservative agenda,” Darling, president of Liberty Government Affairs, said. “It is sad that the Republican leadership has proven so incompetent in implementing an agenda promoting free markets, lower taxes and a limited government [and] that has now become even harder to pass.”

After Jones is sworn in, there will be 49 Democrat senators and 51 Republican senators.

Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, [Jeff Flake, R-AZ, Richard Shelby, R-Alabama] and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also withdrew support.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Moore would face an ethics investigation if elected.

According to Gateway Pundit:

Republicans (Roy Moore) lost 667,819 votes — or 50% of 2016 vote

Democrats (Doug Jones) lost 58,396 votes — or .08% of 2016 vote

Additionally, there were a total of 22,819 write-in votes or 1.7% of the total votes cast.

Bill Finley published a video titled “The Lynching of Roy Moore”:

Judge Moore has not conceded the race until the absentee ballots are counted. According to Section 17-16-20 of Alabama state law:

When, in a general election, the election returns for any public office, including a judicial office, reflect that a candidate is defeated or any ballot statewide measure is defeated by not more than one half of one percent of the votes cast for the office, or the ballot measure, as certified by the appropriate election officer, a recount shall be held unless the defeated candidate submits a written waiver for the recount…

According to RedState.com, “[T]he Moore campaign could contest the results and pay for a recount. But the Republican Alabama Secretary of State said during an interview with CNN election night that it’s “highly unlikely” the outcome of the election would change, even with a recount.

President Trump tweeted:

The swamp came to Alabama and won.

We will be watching how Republicans and Democrats use this race as a referendum for their policies in other key races for governorships in southern states like Florida and Georgia.

In an email titled “What Happened in Alabama’s election” Michael Williams, Republican candidate for the Governor of Georgia wrote:

Mitch McConnell and his establishment buddies in DC went after Roy Moore. It was obvious to those watching. They secretly hoped pro-abortion, anti-Trump Democrat Doug Jones would win in deep red Alabama. Not because they were convinced Moore was guilty of the allegations against him, but because they knew he would be a lock vote for conservatives.

Now my Democrat opponent Stacey Abrams is tweeting up a storm that Alabama’s results are a prediction of what is to come in Georgia! She will be correct if we nominate a Mitch McConnell/Jeff Flake establishment Republican. Georgia Democrats are invigorated by the Alabama election, we need to fight harder now more than ever!

Two of my establishment Republican opponents, Casey Cagle and Hunter Hill, refused to even discuss Roy Moore, let alone support his conservative agenda or President Trump. Their liberal Atlanta donors would stop lining their pockets if they supported a conservative. So they remained silent as Alabama voted blue tonight. I’m sure they’ll have some Monday morning quarterback analysis now that the election is over. But weak establishment Republicans like them is exactly why we lost the Alabama senate seat to a pro-abortion Democrat.

Establishment politicians cut funding to Moore and it helped cost him the election. But it’s not Roy Moore I’m concerned about. It’s the Trump America First agenda that I’m worried about. We now have a razor thin margin in the U.S. Senate. This means getting the Trump agenda passed will become even more difficult.

    Damned shame, ain’t it? Makes me sick to think of it. Mr. Trump needs help so badly. It wasn’t so much about Moore winning as it was a vote of confidence and support for Mr. Trump. I can’t believe the folks in Alabama didn’t clearly see it this way,
