BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The Latest on Alabama’s U.S. Senate election (all times local):

7:10 p.m.

Republican Roy Moore’s supporters are expressing optimism as polls close in Alabama.

Supporters filed into Moore’s election night party in Montgomery shortly before polls closed at 7 p.m.

“Watch party? It’s a victory party,” Moore campaign manager Rich Hobson told the crowd.

Becky Gerritson, the leader of a nearby tea party group, says sexual misconduct allegations against Moore have caused his supporters to rally around him harder.

“We’re seeing his supporters digging in and they’re pumped up,” Gerritson said.

Reporters at Moore’s election night party were kept behind a barricade in the back of the ballroom.

The marxists/democrats and Soros framed a good man Moore.

Moore has to win for the Republic to survive. don’t believe the lies of marxists as they want only one thing socialism to turn the USA into venezueala.

Democrats especially ALL the news media are hard core marxists. They hate America and freedom . We are in a war.

Rual precincts report first.

[murron]

The urban areas always seem to come in last. Probably by design.

[Poundstone]

NYT shows Jones has a16 point advantage?

[ZOOKER]

Looking at CNN website, looks like Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile have already reported in.

That tells me the Democrats have already shot their big guns and are still losing by 10%.

Cautious optimism here...

[Huskrrrr]

Good news!

[VikingMom]

“The urban areas always seem to come in last. Probably by design.”

Happens in Washington State every single time - King County is ALWAYS the last to report, after the rest of the state has come in and they know how many ballots they need to “find”!

[ZOOKER]

Caution: although big cities are reporting, it's not 100% anywhere.

Could be a long night, but still optimistic.

a Moore victory is surely much better than a loss.However,the Rat Party has fallen into rabies territory and,as a result,we’ll be hearing “Moore” 24/7/365 until at least next November.

[dictatorMA]

Fox has Jones ahead, 76% chance of winning.
This is DEVESTATING!
