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.

What was the final disparity in spending?
Agreed, he won’t last long in Ala.
I’d trust Bannon before Rove/McConnell and the other establishment flunkies.
COUNTED SO FAR: 96% (2,134 of 2,220 precincts) ROY MOORE 619,952 48.8% DOUG JONES 629,755 49.5%
That was stupid!
BINGO
Fox News reporting that Alabama has been “progressively moving forward” over the past few years.
Progressively moving forward?
Wow...they even have the leftist lingo down, pat.
Their leftist/0bamalovin’ contributor, Austen Goolsby, must be so proud.
It will be months before this defeat wears off!
So does this mean Al Franken RESIGNS TONIGHT..I wont be holding my breath
Nah-- He gives people free will too. When He led the Israelite's out of Egypt with multiple miracles what did they do but build and worship a golden calf. Nothing new as many citizens would rather have the golden calf as well.
At least we have the Romney/McCain ticket in 2020.

Nah. McCain will be worm food by that time. It’ll be Romney / Kasich.
(also /s) :-)
Now that Moore has lost we have all his accusers suing him to look forward to.
What? They will all disappear tomorrow? Amazing!
Jones is now officially Schu;mer’s b****.
Don’t be too sure of that: AL has signaled that it is molded by the far left.
Even though I was rooting for Luther Strange in the primary based on Trump’s backing him, and almost sure to win in general election, I was 100% behind Roy Moore against the very liberal Doug Jones.
Only bright spot left is, Jones will most likely lose re-election in 3 years, to a republican.
LOL @ progressive. You mean they’ve been swamped by uneducated socialist from the 3rd world like most of the south/southwest.
True. And when is Doug Jones' term up? Two or three years? Thank God he won't be in the Senate for SIX years!
Yes, that should have been a red light!
Good post.
