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

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.

How do the talking heads on the MSM look? If they’re frowning like a little kid who’s been forced to eat Brussel sprouts, then you can bet Moore is ahead.

Just a little FYI: not everyone has a “sidebar”.

No way it took (4) Four idiots to cobble together a collective I.Q. to write this article.

Usually the people in the campaign offices have a good idea of where things are heading before the polls close. They have ID’d there known supporters and can tell if they are getting a good turnout. I worked many elections in Canada and we knew poll-by-poll where we were strong and weak, and how to assess turnout.

Your dream may come true. A bit ago, the CBS evening news was very somber reporting the exit polls. The reporter dude said they were equally split. IOW, Moore has it in the bag since the msm can’t tell the truth.

Yes, good point. I don’t have cable anymore, so someone else will have to be the canary in the coal mine.

Isn’t it Dan Rather who said, “If a frog had side pockets, he’d carry a sidebar”?

Couldn't help but notice on the NYT results page that they have a .

They must be hoping for a landslide of write-ins to help Jones and derail Moore.

Only 4%? I think if he wins it will be by 8 or 9 percent.
