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

Posted on 12/12/2017 3:34:25 PM PST by House Atreides

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.

McConnell is a very happy man tonight. He’s closer to being Minority Leader again, which is what he wants.

Dammit. I think you are right. This sucks...

Race is over. NYT has Jones winning at >95% now.

Don’t blame God if His people don’t care enough to vote or don’t care if a politician is pro-abortion!

If Jones wins tonight it will be the little unborn babies awaiting murder that will be the victims of a Moore loss. Woe to the self-serving.

Yeah, I’m sure this would have happened. This has been the plan all along. This #MeToo movement is becoming dangerous. Most people seem to believe the women, no matter what. Even 40 years later.

Those polls have been closed for an hour and some odd minutes and ALL the results are in? How is that possible?

Ingraham can’t quit laughing. She had no problem with pro abort Jones winning,

I thought Ingraham was supposed to be a devoted Catholic?

If Moore loses, and I'm not ready to give up yet, what I will hate is all the a-holes in the media gloating about Moore's loss.

Trump came in too late, like a week and a half ago after Moore was being slandered for weeks.

The GOPe slander machine did this. They are going to take out people left and right in 2018 with this same tactic.

Someone needs to take out McConnell next time in his race.
