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.

OAN might as well file for bankruptcy now.
EXACTLY!!!
Which doesn’t refute that Fox is a uniparty/deep state propaganda mouthpiece.
Mo Brooks was my first choice during the primary but he didn’t have name recognition of Strange and Moore. I have followed Brooks for a while and he would have been a good choice but it wasn’t meant to be I guess.
Jones had his party behind him, Moore did not. Jones’ party embraces its base, Moore’s party loathes its base.
one county now and just over 6000
In a nutshell.
Moore’s commercials were cartoon like. Bush league. His final push last night looked more like a church service than an campaign appearance.
Uncle Creepy is right. Terrible candidate.
No Moore lost because he believed sodomy should be illegal. Moore’s views on homosexuality are what made him intolerable to the left, and half the right. It was those views that caused the fake accusations to be leveled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I believe like Moore. Sodomy is pure EVIL!
Amen, dear pollywog!!

We need better candidates of we intend to maintain this Republic
Bob Menendez and Al Franken say hi.
Under 3k gap with 2 counties now
Are we in recount % yet? Let’s get this vote fraud under a microscope
Ditto for me as well.
He’ll be up for reelection in the 2020 election. Trump might be able to drag the Republican replacement across the finish line, although once someone steps in the swamp, it’s tough to get them out.
Indeed, a costly blow to the credibility of a fledgling network,
Are they still solvent? I have no idea. Not ever available where I live, and OAN is still in a very small number of households overall in the US. Why the hell did they call this race for Moore as soon as the polls closed??
Moore just took the lead with 1 county left.
