My analysis of the Doug Jones victory: [View all]

My analysis of the Jones victory in Alabama: in spite of Crosscheck and highly restrictive voter ID requirements Doug Jones won the election by 20,000 votes. Why: two reasons. One, African American voters were highly intelligently organized and motivated and came out in great numbers. Two, Republicans like tRump and especially McConnell did not want Moore running or in office, so they did not bother to f with the vote count on easily hacked machines like they normally would.

I fear for the 2020 election because of the inability to guarantee a fair vote count.
