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.

when is the last time Alabama sent a dem to the senate?
And when they do it’s someoe far left who will vote FOR GUN CONTROL, FOR PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION, AGAINST THE WALL AND FOR DACA OR OTHER AMNESTY.
I think the rural Christians had an issue with Moore’s morality and refused to support him. Done.
Roy Moore was never a GREAT Candidate His races in AL were all within 2-4 points

Who convinced Judge Moore to do an interview with a 12-year-old girl on the eve of this election? That was about stupid on his part.

I’m just wondering if the voters of AL wanted to spare Roy Moore the crap that would be thrown at him from the RINOs.Interesting spin but no sale here.
To: NImerc
Yeah, didn’t see this earlier. Your instincts were right.

I read the vote has to be within five percent to have a run off.
