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.

How long was Ohio showing a Hilary lead in November 2016? There were other states also showing Donald Trump behind in the early going.

This CT Yankee trusts Alabama voters to do the right thing—I will stick my neck out a make a call—Moore by 15.

Someone told me to chill, especially with my tag line.
Good advice, I sometimes need to be checked. God is in control regardless the results.

Definitely way too many nervous nellies and/or trolls on this thread

Same thing happened on the live thread on Election Night 2016.

And we all know how badly that turned out for them.

Let the nervous nellies do their thing. They cannot stop Moore's victory tonight.

What I am watching is the differential in vote count. A few minutes ago it was 3800+-, then 3600+-, then 3550+-, now 3450+-
