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.

No, its for the 3 years left in Sessions’ term.
4 out of 7, called it earlier. Unfortunate.
It’s not vote manufacturing in Alabama. There are strict voter ID law.
This was an all out assault from the deep state including Mr. Turtle McConnell to put Moore and in particular Bannon in his place.
Now this will be their tactic in every race next year. Watch.
2020
Now it’s
Moore 49%
Jones 49%
4 out of 7, called it earlier. Unfortunate.

Dallas Co, which hadn’t reported all night, came in
Trump got 1,318,000 votes last year.
Moore will get maybe 570,000.
He has always underperformed... primary voters should have realized that.
Now making Sessions AG, really looks bone-headed.
Thanks. :D
Yup. That's the root of a LOT of our - and President Trump's - problems right now. I really wish President Trump picked someone else for AG, and left Sessions in the Senate... where he belongs.
That is one of the most colossal and ignorant statements I have ever read anywhere, at any time, in my life.
Pieces of excrement voted for Jones or write-in, and pieces of excrement stayed home. Let posterity forget we were ever brethren.
In hindsight, but who thought we would lose in Alabama!
I’m a contributor, but I am a realist. This may be one of the closest Southern Senate races in a long time.
It wasn’t a race. The GOPe threw it. The senior senator from the state made a media blitz last week telling voters NOT to vote for his party’s nominee.
Limp wristed pussy go campaign for your boyfriend Linda graham.
Totally agree.

Welp. Won’t be watching the news for two weeks with the gloating coke whores and their beta males grinning all over themselves.
