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.

Right now we are in runoff territory, since no one has 50% + 1.
drudge only cares about gay stuff
Talladega was the third one I was going to mention. Lee, Madison & Talladega all went for Trump right around the statewide average in 2016. If they are “statewide average” tonight, the end result isn’t going to be pretty.
Do you non-contributors hang out in a cave together...
OAN is not waivering from their call for Moore.
No they wont. Moore won, it’s over.
Moore +25,500 (back to 3%) with 79% in
Sell your family to ISIS.....they will be better off.
There were multiple issues.
For instance, Moore comes off as an odd duck. Not a bad one, just odd.
Then the slew of allegations on the the assault front. During a time where that is a barn burning issue.
Not a strong candidate.
And the swamp got taken once by Trump.
The ‘RAT precincts are starting to pour in now with their votes.
“Alabama has several true conservatives who could win, with or without the establishment’s help.”

The Dems wouldn’t slime them also, because....why, now?
OAN already called it for Moore. They are sticking with their call!

Clearly they are wrong.
There is good reason for pessimism based on the outstanding votes.
Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter and other conservatives backed Mo Brooks, I think...
He’s pro abortion, pro gun control, pro amnesty, pro LGBT. He is ax extreme liberal. McConnell getting the man he wants.
Dallas County (Selma) has not reported. Probably 80% or more for Jones. Does not look good for Moore right now.
RED Baldwin also still has 30 precincts out
What is going on in Talledega?
LOL!
