A very bad sign. Lee and Madison were the two main bellwether counties for this election (based on looking at how they did for Trump in 2016).
Moore needed to at least win both of them, and preferably win them by ~10% or more. Losing them outright == major upset.
Apologies to the happy-pill-taking delusionals who choose to deny reality, but those are the facts.
PermaRag , yeah, you sound like it.
Madison is more on the dem side as counties go. Infested with dumb ass transplants from all over. I think talladega is the odd one. Very telling.
