the real story is that 40+ percent of Alabama voters still went for Moore.

I hate to say it but of course they did. Most of Alabama wouldn't believe the allegations and those that would probably wouldn't care. I don't think I am incorrect in saying that if this was the Governor's election, Moore would have won simply because there would have been a bigger turn out. 

Edit: I should have specified the reason I gave the news he wanted a recount was because of course he's that kind of guy :P
