Live Alabama Election Results: Roy Moore and Doug Jones Compete for Senate Seat
New York Times ^ | December 12, 2017 | MATTHEW BLOCH, NATE COHN, JOSH KATZ and JASMINE LEE

Posted on 12/12/2017 3:34:25 PM PST by House Atreides

Alabama votes on Tuesday in a special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, now the attorney general. The last polls close at 8 p.m. Eastern. Strong support for Roy S. Moore, the Republican, is expected in rural, mostly white parts of the state and in its northern half. The Democrat, Doug Jones, aims to create a lead in the urban counties that include Birmingham and Montgomery, and across a band of largely black counties.

One critical battleground is a trio of smaller, whiter cities: Mobile, Tuscaloosa and Huntsville. Mr. Moore won a hard race in 2012 by keeping things close there. Mr. Jones hopes to win the cities by a convincing margin.

Because I can tell what is fake news and what isn’t, I grew up in NYC and worked in the industry. I predicted Trumps win. I said if he won Florida the election was over and he did and he won. Trust me: The election is over - Moore won and won easily. Go to sleep. Tomorrow when we wake up we can listen to the left whining how Moore colluded with the Russians.

There’s one district that is going big time for Jones and only 22% counted...and could flip the whole thing.

Apologies to the happy-pill-taking delusionals who choose to deny reality, but those are the facts.

Get back to us when they finish counting the vote.

They think it’s Black areas left.

If it’s anything like other states they are holding back to see how votes they need to manufacture.

I agree... I don’t think Moore can hold on. Too many city RAT votes to come.

The GOPe got there wish tonight... hope they’re thrilled.

he ran that way, but he is a rat, but if he wins it is 4 years, at least not 6

Dallas county will put Jones over the top. The corrupt Democrats will fill the ballot boxes there when all others have been counted. They still haven’t reported onevote

If I don’t have the option of voting for a true conservative, I don’t waste my time and gas.
