Election Aftermath

[Cliffs_Daughter]

well, to be fair there are plenty of posts on Brown's facebook page about prayer and God.

No doubt, but he appears to be the more 'tolerant' of other faiths around him. That's another point that got him some votes.

In the interest of being "Fair and Balanced" I present a sample post from the Brown FB page:

GM, to God be the glory in everything that we do. God has his hands all over the Brown campaign. We will NOT, I say it again will not repeat the disaster of what we exp in our President 2000 election. The race is very close, but we have to "BELIEVE" in our minds n hearts Alvin Brown will make history in our city 2day/2moro/right now/in the present. I decree it NOW!!! WE SHALL PREVAIL!!

actually as I understand it, there are 1600 ballots being counted today.....so assuming all of the ones Corrine delivered are accepted and are for Alvin, he will have an 1100 vote lead...Hogan would have to get every remaining ballot to make it a tie

I also don't think Brown used religion to pander to the zealots the way that Hogan did. Abortion clinic bombing comment, bringing up Sharia law...

Jacksonville is being prayer bombed.  

Hmmmmm....... i want to acknowledge this quote as a good concept for art!

"It's in God's hands... sometimes God doesn't give us the leader we need, he gives us the one we deserve.

I think this is a modified quote from The Dark Knight.

you owe me a dollar as well, tufsu.

I will gladly give you a dollar...but did we ever place a wager?

Jerry Holland just said that he expects to release the first vote totals from the counted provisionals at around 2:30 or 3:00. They're making good progress, but are on a two hour break as of now.

No provisionals have been tossed.  All checked so far are clear to be counted.

Wow, just checked Hogan's Facebook page, and it looks like Jacksonville is being prayer bombed.  Sample comments:

All I have to say is...Mike Hogan WILL be Jacksonville's next because Mike Hogan serves an AWESOME GOD as well as I do and I KNOW that MY GOD IS IN CONTROL AND HE WILL PUT HIS MAN IN OFFICE...ENOUGH SAID!!!!

Uh, I think God's got bigger priorities than delivering Mike Hogan to office . . .

"It's in God's hands... sometimes God doesn't give us the leader we need, he gives us the one we deserve. Shame on those Jacksonville voters who did not think voting was worthy of their time. Praying for God's mercy on Jacksonville as the absentee and provisional ballots are counted. Nothing is impossible with our God!"

WTF?

WWJD?


Why, vote Republican of course !!

Good thing they were praying for the best leader instead of Mike Hogan winning

Jimmy, can you give us more info on this. The TU reports that half of the provisional ballots have been reviewed (about 320, then) and 125 provisional ballots have been tabulated (ie, verified and scanned).

The remaining 200 or so ballots remain unverified and have been set aside for the canvassing board to verify later, correct?

Gotcha. When you said 100 my heart skipped a beat. This whole thing is too damned close.
