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.

Where the fun in that?
Definitely way too many nervous nellies and/or trolls on this thread
Pump sunshine all you want. Fact is black turnout is above what the kenyan got. No way to spin that as good news for Moore.
Guess I’m a nervous nellie for sure...
chewing my nails. I guess it is off to the kitchen for a dinner break for me.
Maybe some great news when I return ! :-))
The polls closed half an hour ago. A little too early to panic with less than 1% of the votes reported. Good grief!
You're...
You are.

Something about that link to Ala SOS Does not seem right. It never even updates.
Thanks for the SOS link.
ouch!
Oops.
I heard heavy turnout in the “rural evangelical” areas
Fox Business has pictures of the candidates where Jones looks like a smiling, friendly uncle and Moore looks like a gorilla.
That’s because 11 precincts out of over 2,200 have reported. What do you expect? That is 11 precincts.
That is the total opposite.....with Moore in the lead.
Crazyness.
Even if Jones loses, he sorta wins cause the GOP Establishment will refuse to seat Moore
The Kenyan never got close to winning Alabama
CHILL
Only estimates
I would like to think Bannon, Alabama SOS, and R precincts have learned lessons...hold results or tallies back until Dem districts have shown their cards...I’d suspect that is what is going on now.
That’s OK. At least we know that the NYT is lying.
