Voter turnout for the primaries was 15 percent. Those 15 percent probably voted again yesterday but overall turnout was 40 percent for this election. That is crazy high for a special election.
I am proud because the my peers, we who almost always would vote straight republican, weighed the options and said we will not let a man who swore to uphold the law, twice was removed for not following the law. A man who pandered to our faith and quoted scripture but but brought out the worst in us, the intolerant and unloving, the sterotypes and strawman arguments. You have to live in this state to realize what a phoney this guy has been. I wont go into all the issues with his character but leave the latest accusations out of it and just do a little research into it.
As for Jones, i am not thrilled about him. He would not be my first choice in a normal race but in politics you have to be a little bit pragmatic. The abortion issue is a non-starter. He is not going to be voting on abortion in the next 3 years. I doubt it will even be a topic. But he will be talking about how to bring people together, how to provide jobs and improve peoples lives. His election will provide a discussion topic of how to compromise, meet in the middle, and bring decency and civility back to our politics. Moore was not worthy of the christian's vote. He mocked us and tried to play us for ignorant fools.
I am not a democrat. I have never voted for a democrat in my life before today but I do not want my party or more importantly, my faith, represented by Roy Moore.
Believing LU Basketball is on the verge of something great since 1991. The Cubs won a World Series so why not LU to the Sweet Sixteen?!
