The final numbers, and I’m heading to bed:
Phil Roe 25,884
David Davis 25,354
Talk about a close race…
These numbers are from the State of Tennessee (who isn’t yet posting Greene County) and the Greeneville Sun (to add in the Greene County votes).

If Roe is our new Congressman that means slander and lies can equal victory.
Now Roe has to figure out how to keep all his democratic voters happy.
Very true history was made in tonights congressional election. Davis may have lost the title of Congressman but he still has his integrity.

Dave —
Are you insane??
David Davis was the one calling names in this election — All Phil Roe did was to attack Davis’ politics —- Davis called Roe a liar and a hypocrite — Roe never did resort to that — Roe just called Davis out on his politics and whether you agree with that or not, he didn’t resort to name calling with such aggregious terms as “liar” and “hypocrite” —
What is wrong with that??
Davis actually was the one that lied if you want to discuss it —
He accussed Roe of giving to a Hillary Clinton PAC — the problem was that he had the wrong Phil Roe — it was a Phil Roe in Franklin, TN —
He accused Roe of using a Democratic Consulting firm — problem was it was a firm with the same name but actually a different firm –
on and on and on —
You must be on Davis’ Kool-Aid list —

P.S. to Dave
In case you forgot, it was the Democrats that put Reagan in office —–
