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.

Republicans didn’t show up tonight.
Or they flipped. The bottom line is those allegations, even if false (people don’t know), are tough for people.
NYT has Jones winning with slightly less than 95% of the vote now! :-(
When Mo Brooks runs in 2020 we will see how Brooks handles the
fake sexual misconduct allegations leveled at him.
The RATs have found their magic card on how to divide GOP voters.
Play the sexual misconduct card.
Yup. Well, I should look on the bright side. The lovely GOPe is about to pass a “tax cut” bill that significantly raises my taxes. Screw them is right.
Yes, He said “no”. But Judge Moore said the result would be God’s will.
COUNTED SO FAR: 88% ROY MOORE 560,804 48.8% DOUG JONES 569,114 49.6%I can't bear to watch....
Agreed, and even if Moore won by a comfortable margin, you wonder what further tricks these people have up their sleeves to make life very difficult for both him and Trump.
I wonder if it is not an entirely bad thing to let Jones go up there and be that sort of serious disappointment that he could very likely be, along with the Dems/RINO establishment.
Did Moore conceded yet, if not shut up, moron...
They will be claiming this election and the Virgina sweep a couple of weeks ago spells trouble for Trump....
Well, unfortunately, it looks like Trump is gonna be 0 for 2 in Alabama endorsements.
"It's Trump's fault" isn't good enough. Now it's God's fault. /s
GOPe did us in again ...

Absolutely. The GOP publicly came out against Moore and gave to his opponent.
Moore did not have the Trump charisma to pull it off.
Now the country suffers and Alabama? LOL
You fools just got Nancy Pelosi type of Dem voting for you.
I could see if Jones was one of those southern Dems from years ago..a throwback, but he’s left as can be.
Oh Alabama.
McConnell needs to go.
What does that say about a so-called, Christian, Alabama? I am heartsick.
It shows their are a lot of good folks who were manipulated by people they trusted like Shelby. Probably a lot of elderly.
McConnell needs to go f himself with a red-hot poker.
This is my Father's world. O let me ne'er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. This is my Father's world: why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King; let the heavens ring! God reigns; let the earth be glad!
First this in AM: Trump should fire Sessions.
Grow up. God owes you nothing. God owes this nation nothing. He’s not a genie in a bottle. He is God. We owe him repentance and allegiance and our lives.
Murdoch News just called the race for Jones.
