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

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.

Skynryd supported him in 76 - at least Ronnie Van Zant, did - but then again a whole lot of good people got fooled by Carter.

And Ford ran a poor campaign.

Wow, that's cool! Thanks.

I have Cox Cable in Connecticut... NO OAN. Never heard of OAN until recently - from FReepers of course.

"Brit Hume looks like he has sudden, uncontrollable bowel evacuation."

Chris Stirewalt will be happy about that. The evacuated bowels, not the election results.

The NYT put up about 175 votes.

75% of them are for Jones.

It’s just an early small count, and you have to wonder if it wasn’t done to tweak Moore supporters.

“If Moore wins, they might as well have a funeral for the Fox News polling division”

And a pity party for their staff. Brit Hume is looking pretty glum on Tucker.

Ha! Martha just insinuated on FNC they will probably be there for awhile. Also, they have a new way to guess..the raw data and some exit polling. Gee, hope they are way off.

Tucker looks like he’s going to his best friend’s funeral. Good sign.

CNN started out looking like a funeral. Map up all red counties so far.

Agree, mainly because of John King who is a maestro of the data and relatively fair.

This is a good sign, I guess: Moore’s beating Write-in by 53-2.
