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.

Now it makes sense why the Slimes give Jones a strong chance of winning..the Dem areas are not in yet
(see my tagline)
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 ..
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.
COUNTED SO FAR: 76% ROY MOORE 439,021 50.7% DOUG JONES 414,580 47.9%
Dallas County, AL has not reported. That is Selma area. I bet they want to put Jones over the top.
Moore +36,500 (4.4%) with 71% in
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.
So, how liberal is Jones?
Any chance he votes with us on some key issues?
Yep.
538 is still predicting that Jones will sweep the remaining 580k votes by a 2 to 1 margin. Wtf?
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.)
Yep.
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.
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.
“An electable conservative”
Like Romney?
Truth hurts doesn’t it scumbag....lol
