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.

Yup. Thanks a LOT, stupid Sen. Shelby and the other 19,000. And the conservative (mostly white) Trump voters who stayed home tonight. They completely bought into the Gloria Allred, etc. fraud.
Alabama: You now have a pro late-term abortion Senator, just like the other Blue States. Hope you are proud. (with apologies to AL FReepers who voted for Moore)
I'm now really worried about 2018. I thought we had it in the bag. Now I'm not so sure...
This is on the GOPe. They care only about their grip on power. Not about America or Americans, and not even about Republicans. They have deep sixed every candidate who upset an establishment favourite in a primary. They tried to do it with Trump, but he had more resources than more. Look at the combined spending against Moore in the primaries and general, the almost monolithic full press of the media, the duplicity of McConnell, Shelby and many others. They took down Moore but have caused untold damage to the Republican Party. If they take down Trump the GOP will see a schism that will sink it for 20 years.
Yup! Moore went to Philly last weekend to attend the Army-Navy football game according to POLITICO:
Two Republicans briefed on Moores schedule before this weekend said he intended to spend Saturday in Philadelphia at the Army-Navy football game a long-planned trip that the West Point grad had insisted he would still take this year despite the election.
I suspect they really did vote for Moore, but Karl Rove and his GOPe cohorts tiddled with the voting machines, as they do with McTraitor and Miss Linda, etc. It was going to take divine intervention to halt their evil.
And Moore wasnt a good candidate before the allegations...all democratic shenanigans aside. I like the guy, I just dont think he was a good solid candidate that would turn out votes. Hes a little different. People dont crawl over broken glass for different, especially when the same rock solid conservative principles can be found in others who are less odd. If the GOPE hadnt meddled in the primary to begin with, Moore wouldnt be have been the candidate. People need to not forget that.
I just posted the following on Mitch McConnel and Paul Ryan’s Facebook pages:
May the blood of the innocent unborn babies in Alabama be on your hands and the hands of Paul Ryan. You people had it all. And because of your power-hungriness and selfishness, you lost a seat in a red state.
Sessions as a choice for AG was by far the biggest mistake of Trump’s presidency. On so many levels.
Democrats will call this a resounding defeat for Trump, and will be claiming huge momentum for the 2016 midterm elections.
Guaranteed that with them having the biggest number of seats to defend, that they will end up losing at least 5 of those, and perhaps up to 10.

Let the liars say whatever they want. They’ve almost been decimated across the country in areas outside of leftist shit holes. We own the majority of state houses, governor offices, congress, senate and POTUS.
We still have the majority across the board and POTUS.
BUCK UP!! IN POLITICS, especially a special election, ANYTHING CAN AND DOES HAPPEN..
KEEP PUSHING FORWARD! WIN SOME AND LOSE SOME.
WE STILL NEED TO WORK ON GETTING POTUS AGENDA INTO REALITY AND WORK ON 2018.
THIS WAS ARMY KIND OF ATTACK AGAINST MOORE AND BEING OUTSPENT TEN TO ONE.
THE SEX ALLEGATIONS HURT MOORE’S RURAL CHRISTIAN BASE WHO STAYED HOME OR TURNED ON HIM.
My guess is Jones will be out in three years.
WE ARE STILL IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. STILL WINNING.
ONE LOSS DOES NOTHING TO STOP THAT. YOU GOTTA LEARN TO LOSE A BATTLE AND WIN THE WAR.
Bingo
We’ll see how the stock market reacts tomorrow. Need to check futures now....
Not after they sold their souls tonight.
It is obvious that the majority of Alabamans are post-modern. There is no truth, no evidence that matters. Everybody invents their own reality.
It’s a suicidal belief system. From here on out, “might makes right”. Whoever spends the most money wins.
The people of Alobama just voted against Moore, but also fir more terrorist immigration, more illegal immigration, more taxes, more regulation, more abortion, more liberalism. Nice job dumb asses!
Yep.
And for that I blame Shelby and the turtle.
And this was their goal. To have Moore lose.
[Focus your prayers for revival in the pulpits and the church. The rest will fall into place. And ask God to have mercy on us..,because I suspect we are in for some divine judgment.]
AMEN. Only GOD can save AMERICA.
But God is still on the throne, and His hand is still on our President. My heart goes out to Moore, though, who was attacked so viciously by evil people.
Yeah, when people look what Judge Moore had to run against such a wicked cabal including, the democrat party, the republican party, the national medias, the local medias, Hollywood and the entertainment industry, the DC swamp cronies, etc. it's the same cabal Donald Trump had to run against.
Thank God for President Trump and prayers for his safety and the conversion of this country away from this wicked cabal.
CGato
So will there be a recount?
If Alabama truly turns Blue, America is OVER. Dear God...
This is such a mess. President Trump should have *never* picked Sessions to be AG. Sessions should still be Senator. Look at the mess we're in because of that. GRR!
