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.

I have great respect for the NYT live final vote estimator

You realize they update that as they go, right? That's the only reason they were "accurate" in 2016, when they originally had Clinton with a 95% chance of winning. And then, somehow, the myth that they were more objective than the rest of the Slimes organization and MSM in general was perpetuated. They aren't. They're just better at CYA.

There is simply too little information to Chicken-Little over, at this point.

Tucker said Jones is trying to gain a “surprise, and I mean it would be a surprise victory over Roy Moore.” Sounds like they are trying to cover for yesterday’s poll.

Looks like all the big blue precincts are in..with Moore ahead 53-45.

Looks like rural outlying precincts are not yet in...so I hope this will be a haymaker for Roy...and for us....

The New York Times site is extremely accurate. That is the site to pay attention to...currently they have Moore’s probability of winning at 51%. I expect that to stretch into a wider percentage soon. The raw counts mean nothing, the NYT algorithm is terrific at predicting the votes that have come in and those remaining and how they are likely to vote.

Good point, Sam. If you go to Youtube you can see the hours of taped network election coverage; from 7 to 8:30 the nets are positively joyous over an impending Clinton landslide abetted by the token “Republican” experts they put on like Frank Luntz, Matthew Magoo Dowd, Mark Murphy and that execrable Wilson and Schmitt characters. By 9 they are getting worried (Chris Wallace: “Trump may win this thing”). By 10 pm, it is borderline hysteria with Stephanopolus on ABC accusing Nate Silver of changing his forecast and Silver saying the betting markets are picking Trump. By 11 it is utter terror with Andrea Mitchell bawling from the Javits Center. By 1 am it is abject hatred and bitterness, with the likes of Bush bums like David Frum shrieking their anger at those of us who are uneducated working types who elected Trump. Ha!

It was Doom & Gloom that night until about 9pm or so, by 10:30p it was a full fledged party.

We know the MSM and Democrat spin tomorrow will be that Alabama is a deep red state and should of won by thirty points. I think Moore wins by fifteen to twenty percentage points. Nice try Dems, establishment Repukes and the MSM. You failed!

CNN will have it “too close to call” until Moore has at least a ten point lead with 99% of the precincts reporting, unlike 2016 when they called CA and NY for HRC 60 seconds after the polls closed.
