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.

Really, go back to the DU, moron...
Sad that a state that Trump ran away with ends up like this
And u think if Mo Brooks is the GOP nominee in 2020 he won’t be
accused of sexual misconduct too?
The RATs now know how to divide GOP voters by playing the sexual
predator card.
Yeah but we have all of the outstanding vote to come in residing in black counties. This looks over. Sadly, the gope sunk our candidate.
Amazing that people would show up and do a write in!
I don’t know. The Alabama GOP needs to vet their candidates seriously. In NJ where I live, I don’t think the NJ GOP would allow this.
Dems do cheat - but this race was not about the cheating.
1. WashPost claims a scalp - they did the investigation in preparation to go after DT
2. Repubs and FoxNews were fine with the democrat winning - they will never be in our corner
3. There was extreme nation pressure - and given 2 bad choices, some in AL decided to go with the pressure
Not any more.
That is sure what it's looking like. Let's hope it doesn't succeed.
Some woman on Hannity said earlier that the GOP is content with being in the minority.

The RINOS are a disgrace.
323 precincts left; Jefferson (Birmingham) 50; Mobile County 127; Montgomery County 56.
Even though he is 7,000 votes ahead, not looking good for the good guy. Hoping that jones doesn’t get 50%+1.
“VOTE DELAY IS FRAUD
Moore should never concede. Vote delaying is fraud.”
Exactly.
Oh well...Kinda knew this would happen. Just enough to depress the base and turn out the urbanites.
NYT has it even, and most of the votes left to count are in the blue areas.
Jones wins.
Which is the same garbage most of the same people said Nov 2106 about Trump.
Here in TN ex-gov Bredesen is running for Corkers seat. He was a pretty conservative Dem gov
Now it makes sense..I guess the Slimes are not as stupid as they look
