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.

Looking good. We are almost there.
That was me.
The leftists on CNN look like they are at a funeral.
Black turnout on exit polls is similar to 2016 when Trump won big.
OANN has called it for Moore.
That is why I come up with a fifteen point Moore win.
The jig is up for Jones...they had a little fun with Birmingham and Montgomery votes early to get bed wetters wetting. The big wave has crested, Jones gets to swim now.
Our estimates are based on the results reported so far, the results of previous elections and demographic data. Unlike reported results, they attempt to account for precincts that have not yet reported their votes. The shaded area in the gauge below shows the range of our forecasts.
Well that is start to look better I guess they had to go through the Rat areas first
God knows the truth and that is all that is important to me. I trust Moore over any dem accusations or other fraudulent sources.
They probably have a person at the precinct.

I don't think it will be that close tonight. The NYT site already has Moore edging ahead and it's not even 9PM yet (ET).
