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.

I’d trust Bannon before Rove/McConnell and the other establishment flunkies.

Fox News reporting that Alabama has been “progressively moving forward” over the past few years.


Progressively moving forward?

Wow...they even have the leftist lingo down, pat.

Their leftist/0bamalovin’ contributor, Austen Goolsby, must be so proud.

God must have heard our prayers. I guess the prayers didn’t matter all that much.

Nah-- He gives people free will too. When He led the Israelite's out of Egypt with multiple miracles what did they do but build and worship a golden calf. Nothing new as many citizens would rather have the golden calf as well.

At least we have the Romney/McCain ticket in 2020.

Nah. McCain will be worm food by that time. It’ll be Romney / Kasich.

Now that Moore has lost we have all his accusers suing him to look forward to.

What? They will all disappear tomorrow? Amazing!

Don’t be too sure of that: AL has signaled that it is molded by the far left.

It ain't over UNTIL it's over and ALL VOTES ARE COUNTED !

Even though I was rooting for Luther Strange in the primary based on Trump’s backing him, and almost sure to win in general election, I was 100% behind Roy Moore against the very liberal Doug Jones.

Only bright spot left is, Jones will most likely lose re-election in 3 years, to a republican.

LOL @ progressive. You mean they’ve been swamped by uneducated socialist from the 3rd world like most of the south/southwest.

Trump won Alabama by 26 points so unless something happened in the past year I doubt its gone more “Progressive”

True. And when is Doug Jones' term up? Two or three years? Thank God he won't be in the Senate for SIX years!
