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.

Shirley, you can’t be serious! I would love that to be true, but everyone else says exit polls are close. Source?

With all due respect to Billy Idol, “In the midnight hour, babe, we want Moore, Moore, Moore! With a Rebel Yell, Moore Moore Moore!”

They must not believe it’s really so tight, like they reported.
Probably they just wanted to not look like idiots for their fake poll results yesterday.

The gang at Fox News looks like theyre at a funeral. Good sign. If Moore wins, they might as well have a funeral for the Fox News polling division which had Jones up a ridiculous 10 points.

Skynryd supported him in 76 - at least Ronnie Van Zant, did - but then again a whole lot of good people got fooled by Carter.
To: PlateOfShrimp
like saying it’s too close, so they can get you to tune in longer. If they say Moore projected winner plenty of people will tune out.
