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.

Same here. Sessions has been a huge disappointment. Wish he was back in the Senate, and we weren't going through this misery tonight. And wish we had a real PIT BULL as AG.
Exactly! Lets stop with the election is being stolen before our eyes garbage. That takes the blame away from where it CLEARLY belongs: GOPE and the democratic smear machine.
And u think if Mo Brooks is the GOP nominee in 2020 he wont be
accused of sexual misconduct too?
The RATs now know how to divide GOP voters by playing the sexual
predator card.

If this worked in one of the reddest states in the country it will work anywhere.
Just call this country gone. I mean people don’t even have the sense of self preservation. They choose a lefty in Alabama who will vote against the wall, and everything good Trump is trying to do.
As predicted an hour ago - Jones will win by about 20K votes or 1.5%.
