[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.

Roy Moore's final election results for 2012 State Supreme Court Election I share this to show that he always runs close races because men hate GOD, and Moore defends God.

This is reminding me of Virginia in 2008, when Fairfax and Arlington gave it to Obama at the end. :(

[JohnyBoy]

NYT has +8.2 Moore.

[lodi90]

Moore was not a good candidate but does having a bad candidate ever stop Dems from going all in? Look at the garbage they pull over the finish line. A close Moore loss in ALABAMA is 100% on the GOPe.

Yep. It’s over. Jones will win. No surprise when the republicans run these losers.

“Guessing the Dem vote is weaker than expected.”

This makes the most sense of anything I’ve seen.

[NKP_Vet]

Some asshole just came on Fox and sad most of the republican counties have came in and most of the Rat counties are still counting and if the trends hold Jones will win going away. Fox currently showing Moore winning by 58,000 votes.
