Experienced political Alabama columnist Jeff Flowers reports extremely heavy turnout, early, in rural highly evangelical areas.
He seems to have an objective view of the race. Predicts 7% win for Moore. Out of state liberal money poured in...Moore outspent 14/1.

IS this going to be alive thread?
The GOPe, spent $30 MILLION!!!!! during the primary to stop Moore... didn’t work....
I highly doubt Alabamans will allow themselves to be swayed by Soros’ money.
LIberals don’t get the fact, the more liberal outsiders talk down to folks the more that don’t agree with them the more likely those people are going to give them the finger.
The insane involvement of outside money and individuals stumping for Jones will solidify and motivate people to vote for Moore who likely may have stayed home had they not gotten involved.
The turn out at my precinct (minority predominated)in Montgomery was fairly heavy. However, in my district, there is a separate state senate race between two black democrats. So my anecdotal observation is just that - anecdotal.
He should have won by 20,
Do we want high turnout in those places, or low?
Voted at 0730 here in Mobile....already over a 100 had voted by then and they opened at 0700. The folks said it had been steady since the polls opened.....
I have fond memories of northern AL in the 70’s. Spectacular scenery being out in nature. That’s God’s country.
Moore by 8 points at least.

A squeaker result (53%-47%) would make it easier for McConnell to say that the will of the people of Alabama was divided.

I miss Snuffy...
High turnout in the urban areas is ‘usually’ good for DEMS.......................
All of this money had been locked up in bank accounts somewhere, now it is back on the street, being spent and used.
...
I bet if that money was traced back to its origin, it came from the taxpayer and was redistributed by the crooks in government.
Conversely, high rural turnout is good for Moore.
The Christians are going to save Bama.

He said the race was a 14-1 spending ratio.
Moore was outspent 14-1.
But Moore will win.
It’s strictly a popular vote winner for this race... I was the 70th voter at my precinct, 20 minutes after the polls opened - with another 25 or so in line behind me.
I did see quite a few African-Americans in line, which is fairly unusual for the precinct. My county went 73% for Trump in 2016.
Other precincts I passed on the way into work (2 of them) were obviously very busy as well.
No, all of this “extra” out-of-state money flooding local districts in red states (AZ to re-elect McCain, Mississippi in the runoff last year against McCarthy, GA 6th district special election, this year in AL) has gone to “political consultants” and MAINSTREAM MEDIA (via TV and radio and newspaper advertisments and special shows and interviews) that REWARD the media outlets and consultants who PROMOTE the democrat-liberal-communist-socialists running.
Yes, it is a “good thing” the out-of-state liberal money is being wasted. But Washington doesn’t realize that the months of robocalls and TV advertisements FAIL to convince voters, and only serves to irritate them and make them disgusted.
It is a new political game. And the Fake News Political Empire doesn’t realize their expensive campaign Death Star spending is being penetrated by the enemy and isn’t affecting folk outside of Washinton-NYC-LA.
