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.

CNN was showing only 15% precincts reporting at the same moment the NYT had 25%. CNN playing games - as always.

Awesome!! I still want a lawsuit against the yearbook con artist. I hope that Roy Moore does not just let it go. She needs to go to pay for her forgery and lies. If nothing is done, they will use people like here in EVERY election.
I love FR election threads

we have a county in VA (Fairfax) that reports last, like Cooke County in IL. They always manage to find a Prius trunk filled with ballots if they need them..

TraderMoe @Trader_Moe Todd Kincannon calls it: "Based on the data I have, I'm prepared to make a call. Roy Moore (R) has won the Alabama Senate special election, defeating Doug Jones (D)."Continued prayers for Judge Moore and prayers that he is correct.

I enjoy election night forums, and watching ‘Concern Trolls,’ and somehow ( I must be psychic ) being able to guess who the Non-Contributors are.

NYT all over the place tonight. Not like Nov 8 at all where it showed a steady uptick for Trump all through the night.
To: SoFloFreeper
