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.

Mo Brooks is a solid conservative... and would have won tonight by 20 points.

The good news is, Al Franken’s recount lasted months, it could be a year before the new Senator is seated ...

VOTE DELAY IS FRAUD

Moore should never concede. Vote delaying is fraud.

Demand a reelection.

Plenty suggested it when we nominated a guy that barely won statewide before.

I keep holding out hope that Sessions is”working behind the scenes” and will one day produce something of value. But it’s getting harder every day.

Looking now like a rare mistake by President Trump.

Surprised the race hasn’t been called for Jones already.

It’s crystal clear this is over folks.
