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.

Truth hurts doesn’t it scumbag....lol


Better a “scumbag” than a pathetic surrender monkey conservative like you. Limp wristed towel boys like you are the reason conservatism hasn’t advanced since Reagan.

I fear our Republic is lost. We MAGA are determined but some are easily fooled by all the negative news.

Doug Jones will be a one-time senator, maybe. A Republican in 2020 could beat Jones, but not a toxic candidate like Moore with all these allegations.

Everything I'm reading here that people have posted is based on Swamp Media "projections," "analytics" and "observations."

The REAL numbers from the Alabama SoS say that only 326,000 votes have actually been counted, and Moore has 17.5% lead.

Good point. Plus I heard Bill O'Reilly say twice on Glenn Beck, once just last week, that a lawyer was advertising a reward for women who would come forward to accuse Trump. He said 3 laws have been broken, and he intends to do something about it. Said Trump knows about it. Don't know if it's true or he will, but interesting. And maybe we ain't seen nothing yet.

Madison is more on the dem side as counties go. Infested with dumb ass transplants from all over. I think talladega is the odd one. Very telling.

Automatic recount in alabama if less than 0.5%. Margin of victory.

Romney is the GOPe poster boi. No conservative. I like Roy Moore a lot. I always have. I think he would make a fine Senator. I would like to see a dozen just like him in the Senate. But, tonight he's going down in flames. Alabama has several true conservatives who could win, with or without the establishment's help. Moore ain't one of them. And that's too bad.

True. The GOPe nuked Mo Brooks in the primary - he would have made an outstanding senator.

You are not wrong. If the numbers are correct Jefferson County will give Jones as much as 60K in votes more than Moore. Looks like Jones wins easy by 40Kplus

It’s weird that hasn’t happened in every election. There was so much smoke with this one that even the village idiot knew there was fire.

Moore should have stepped aside early on.

He didn’t. The rest is history.

We have Jeff Sessions to thank for this and for that and for just about every mess that’s been created for the Administration and its policies. What a mess that loser has created.

How come no one is talking about the GOP areas that are still out? There are 13 red dots, including a big one in Baldwin County, on the NY Times map that are not yet fully counted.
