Now it makes sense why the Slimes give Jones a strong chance of winning..the Dem areas are not in yet

[ROCKLOBSTER]

He’s being cheated by both the Rats and the Reps.

(see my tagline)

[RocketMan1]

Moore’s vote percentage in the Birmingham area just doubled. Remaining precincts in that area may not be as pro-Jones as previous precincts. This “could be” good ..

[Terry Mross]

Shelby is 81 so now he can screw America. Same with McCain. Republicans are just as wrong to re-election the same old people year after year.

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

COUNTED SO FAR:  76%
ROY MOORE   439,021	50.7%
DOUG JONES  414,580	47.9%

[WeWaWes]

Dallas County, AL has not reported. That is Selma area. I bet they want to put Jones over the top.

[Jet Jaguar]

Moore +36,500 (4.4%) with 71% in

[Revel]

Roy Moore Republican 432,489 50.5%
Doug Jones Democrat 411,449 48.1

75% reporting (1,659 of 2,220 precincts)

Here comes the blue wave.

I’m an American. I’ve learned it’s a uniparty and don’t kid myself.

You're a Jack-Ass for blaming Moore!

[comebacknewt]

So, how liberal is Jones?

Any chance he votes with us on some key issues?

[Sarah Barracuda]

TraderMoe‏ @Trader_Moe Kincannon: "No way Jones wins unless 40k voters in Jefferson County (Birmingham) who voted for Donald Trump suddenly decided to vote for Doug Jones even though they repeatedly told pollsters they were for Roy Moore through yesterday evening."

[Pinkbell]

Yep.

[montag813]

538 is still predicting that Jones will sweep the remaining 580k votes by a 2 to 1 margin. Wtf?

[Bodleian_Girl]

I personally don’t care.

I dated a 31 year old when I was 18/19 in Alabama in 1980/81.

We were not unusual in our circle. All of the musicians I knew at that time dated younger women.

Even the married ones.

(The legal drinking age was 19 at this time.)

[uncitizen]

Yep.

[PermaRag]

A very bad sign. Lee and Madison were the two main bellwether counties for this election (based on looking at how they did for Trump in 2016).

Moore needed to at least win both of them, and preferably win them by ~10% or more. Losing them outright == major upset.

Apologies to the happy-pill-taking delusionals who choose to deny reality, but those are the facts.

[NELSON111]

Yep. And now hes down to a 25k vote lead with 25% of the precincts still out, most of which are urban. It’s over.

[SecAmndmt]

“An electable conservative”

Like Romney?

[rrrod]

Truth hurts doesn’t it scumbag....lol
