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.

There you go bringing logic into this thing. lol
Stop watching Fox, people! For God’s sake!
No doubt, but Jones is going to do a lot of damage in the Senate.
I can’t believe the pessimism on this thread. How about the negative Nellie’s stop posting till this is over.
NY times has estimated margin 1.6% for Jones. Write ins are at 1.4%. GOPe threw away this seat to slow the MAGA train. Period.
Luther Strange, Tripp Pittman, or even former Gov. Bob Riley would have been better.
Hillary won Dallas county by an almost 7:3 margin in 2016. 7,000 votes.
Yup. You are witnessing the Democrat strategy for the next decade..
