Be joining them. this is a decision that will be made in alabama. if you listen to what the secretary of state just said explaining, yes, we'll count the military ballots as soon as we can, yes, check the validity of the write-ins as soon as we can. nobody finds a few votes outstanding somewhere. if you look, we're at 100% now in most of the places where there are a lot of votes. we'll go through the process, running a campaigns are hard. clearly sore feelings in the moore campaign. again, yes, this is a close election but when you look at that, are there recounts that overturn something like ...

The two but actually gave doug jones the huge advantage, the win? >> well, certainly, it looks that way, shannon. one of the things that needs to be accepted from that is that the people of alabama were trying to make a statement with those write-in votes and they wanted to make sure that those votes were recorded and were documented for the candidate of their choice other than one of the two candidates that were listed on the ballot. >> shannon: it's always interesting to me to see that data when it gets broken down. we really actually see the other names in the effort that people need to go ...

Ridiculous. i would just point out, alabama is only a generation or two removed when a time when its name was tied to infamy, when it was tied to george wallace, when it was tied to about enthusiastic segregation. it is not something that alabamians are particularly interested in associating themselves with. that is why roy moore, and the past, was not only removed from office but struggled in statewide races and that is why you put the added part on about the sex scandal, he just becomes a no-go and i think that is when you get those tens of thousands of write-in votes, saying it won't vote f...

He put in more to this race, to this candidate, to rescuing moore's candidacy when it looked like he was going to get pushed out by just aboutarve wn in the republican party. he flew down and said repeatedly this is my candidate. i think that helped revive moore's candidacy. but clearly we can see the majority of voters in the state of alabama rejected him. >> here's what the president tweeted tonight. congratulations to doug jones in a hard fought victory. the write-ins played a big factor, but republicans will have another shot at the seat in a very short period of time. it never ends, excla...

It could be three, four points, just looking at the projections right now. the raw vote total is roughly 9,000. we had 22,044 write-ins. you talked to chris stirewalt earlier about it. 22,000, that is double the difference. there you see the lead is increasing on the raw vote total, 670 now. just looking at the map, looking where the votes are, it doesn'tt seem like it's going to get to that half percent, not even close. more like it's expanding and not contracting. so i think eventually, you are going to see from the moore campaign a concession. >> shannon: it's interesting because in watchin...
