Doug Jones In Serious Trouble As Shocked Viewers See Who Is In Celebration Ceremony Crowd

Footage of a Doug Jones supporter in Alabama speaking after the state’s Senate election has raised questions among some viewers about the legitimacy of some Jones’ voters (video below).

After Jones beat former Supreme Court Chief Justice of Alabama Roy Moore in that state’s Senate race, some conservatives began to question whether or not all of Jones’ supporters voted legally.

Following the special election, Moore, who was accused of sexual misconduct by several women — including one who was 14 years old when he allegedly sexually assaulted her — refused to concede, demanding a recount of votes.

Now, a video has surfaced showing a supporter of Jones saying words on television that some pointed to as possible evidence of voter fraud.

According to Mad World News, the clip shows a man being interviewed following Jones’ win, telling a local reporter, “We came here all the way from different parts of the country and all of us pitched in, to vote and canvas together, and we got our boy elected. Let’s go! Doug Jones!”

Viewers noted that the Jones supporter said that he joined others from all over the country “to vote,” which raised questions about whether there were fraudulent votes cast by residents of other states.

According to HuffPost, Bill Mitchell, a prominent conservative radio host, raised questions about out-of-state voters as well on his Twitter page.

“I am hearing rumors that black voters from MS were encouraged to cross over into AL and vote,” Mitchell tweeted following the election. “Anyone else hearing this? Anything to it? That might explain the 30% turnout higher than population percentage. Just reporting the rumor.”

None of the reports of voter fraud in the election have been confirmed.

Mad World News noted that in Jefferson County, Alabama’s most populous county, Jones received 68 percent of the vote, which was surprisingly high considering Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton received just 51 percent of the vote in the county in the 2016 presidential election and former President Barack Obama received 52 percent of the vote in both the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections.

The questions about the legitimacy of Jones’ voters have been raised primarily because Alabama has previously been a consistently Republican-leaning state.

Statistics showed following the election that a high turnout of black voters helped Jones win the Senate race. Rumors began to spread on social media that some black voters may have voted multiple times in Birmingham. However, Snopes confirmed that the source article was false, noting that the website which published the article was labeled as a satirical publication.
