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

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.

Fox News hates conservatives with a passion. They’re just going to make stuff up if it makes Moore look bad and the radical leftist good.

Disgusting. What has happened to that network?!

Never mind. Rhetorical question needs no answer.

Compare the map to 2016 election results. Jones is picking up Trump counties:

Think of this...

They know they are going to lose, so they front load all the reporting on the Dem strongholds. So, for at least a while it looks like Jones is winning, and there is little negative energy. In the end they’ll say Alabama is a right wing extremist state and the Jones loss was expected but he put up a great fight, yada, yada... This way little victory emotion is credited to Moore.

We think about 519,000 votes remain to be counted. We think Mr. Jones leads in that vote by about 14.9 points.
