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.

One thing to keep in mind - blue counties can stay blue and the election can still be a Republican landslide. Here's the county votes for a few recent elections. Those same counties being blue now is nothing to worry about.

“I wonder if Alabama ever officially adopted that as the state song. It’s definitely become the unofficial state anthem.”

Yeah, like “Louie,Louie” being Ohio’s state song! But I imagine Alabama has had it’s song for a long time and it’s hard to give up old traditions.

This as a battle of “We the People” vs people like Brit Hume.

Just for comparison in the 2016 Presidential race (when Trump won Alabama big time) black turnout was 26% of the vote.

predictit.com has it had 74-28 (includes buy/sell spread) at the moment, but has been wildly gyrating, though with roughly six points up for Moore from a couple of hours ago ...

Hello Senator Jones. Republicans blow another easy win by nominating a lunatic. Nice job Alabama.

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

Great song! I've seen it quite a bit tonight here, lol.

Saw Billy Idol up close back in the day in a small venue in New Britain, Connecticut. He put on an awesome show!
