[plain talk]

Polls where I live were not very crowded. Based on past elections I would say there was low turnout. Not sure who that benefits

[SMGFan]

President Trump continues to endorse Strange.. Strange indeed. Will the President continue to get involved in GOP primaries? I hope he does not.

Moore Moore Moore Moore!!!

Should make this the ‘live thread’. Gonna be fun.

“... Merrill said more than 340,000 Alabama voters were now listed as “inactive” in the Secretary of State’s database.
“That will not keep them from voting,” Merrill said. “They can absolutely update their information at their polling location, receive a ballot and vote. If they are not voting today, they can do it online again starting tomorrow.”
...predicted wouldn’t attract more than 15 percent of eligible voters, but would likely be closer to 10 percent “

Good for a giggle: Mo Brooks was listed as ‘inactive’.

Let’s get ready to rumble!
Go Roy Moore!

[Wuli]

Who is the most false one, just there to take votes away from Moore, so the other guy will win?

[BamaBelle]

I was voter #268 in the small community of Santuck today. I voted for Roy Moore and know of several others voting for him. As a longtime supporter of Moore, I am very happy to finally see him run for the Senate. I have long felt he will make an excellent Senator.

Come join us here at the Alabama election thread.

AP has a results page up now:

Decision Desk usually does better but not always.

Maybe you could request putting this thread on the sidebar, so others
can easily find it, instead of scrolling thru so many threads to come.

Alabama election thread.

[mrsmith]

Could we have this made the ‘Live Thread’?

[Alas Babylon!]

I just voted about 45 minutes ago. The poll workers there told me only a 15% turnout.

Pathetic.

[mrsmith]

Never heard of them, but these guys are now projecting a near tie Moore/Strange.

Will check them later.

Of course I hope instead that Roy polls way out ahead.

[Nateman]

With 3% AP is showing Strange in third! That is the best outcome, the Mitch Bitch thrown into a ditch! Not even a run off for the Swamp critter!

[bankwalker]

I wish all elections had runoffs.

Runoffs = no Perot = no Clinton = no stolen FBI files = no blackmail = different USA today ...

"John Couvillon‏ @WinWithJMC · 4m4 minutes ago
RESULTS: With 10% in, Moore leads with 45-25% in suburban counties, 33-31% in urban counties, 43-28% in rural counties #ALSEN "

Well, I'd expect a little better from the rural areas, and maybe a tiny bit better in the urban.

I hope Rep. Mo Brooks wins the runoff.
He's the MOST CONSERVATIVE !

Read Upset brewing in heated Alabama Republican Senate primary as polls conflict :

"... Rep. Mo Brooks, 63, is third in both polls (15 percent in the ECP, 17.46 percent in the Trafalgar Group) and is vying for a spot in the presumed run-off.
Brooks is known as a staunch fiscal conservative who notably opposed the Republican plan to replace Obamacare because it didn’t go far enough in dismantling the law, according to CNBC.
He eventually supported an amended bill. ..."

Will another election be held in 2018 against a Democrat?
