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.

They can be completely wrong - I suspect even by design sometimes - and it may discourage people to go out and vote.
Moore over 40% now on FOX - Less than 1% reporting - I feel great !!!
Praying.
Hazardous-duty pay. It's one of the many reasons he gets paid the Big Bucks!
Not panicked, but definitely concerned.
But, I have great respect for the NYT live final vote estimator which indicates Jones in a squeaker.
My 19 year old said Jones is winning... just like he said Hillary was winning in November, 2016.
May the results be the same.
Why only 1% reporting after 40 minutes? Why not 5% or 10% by now?
I want to know why they are holding back so early. Could it be that they are giving the MSM time to coordinate the final narrative?

What part of some precincts are heavy Rat and some precincts are GOP

Do u get it?
Praying.
Why? He is innocent of all the accusations.

NYT flipping quickly. Moore within 7.
Free Republic seems to be having problems keeping up tonight. Any ideas ? or other places to watch?
Hey dont ya know the drill, Republican accused of something, ALWAYS GUILTY..Democrat accused of something, always innocent..GOP Establishment..Democrat..same thing
Good maneuver to keep the dimocrats from manufacturing fraudulent votes.
The hamsters are getting a real workout tonight.
The Kenyan never got close to winning Alabama
CHILL
I’m chill. But I’m not going to sit here all night and pump sunshine for the team. It’s clear Moore is battling some heavy headwinds. Let’s hope he can pull it off. If he doesn’t it will because the GOPe abandoned him. Period. This shouldn’t be close. Jones should have been carpet bombed with negative ads and destroyed.
And registrations can show the party but not their actual votes which last I knew have to be secret or no point left in our system. But I think they were trying to hoodwink however many voters they could that it would go on record who they voted for.
You must realize that the GOP elites do not believe that.
