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.

In an honest election, Moore would win in a landslide. The GOPers couldn’t let that happen. So they tiddled with the machines, then got that judge to issue his last minute ruling that all digital records can be eliminated immediately, thereby covering up their voter fraud.

Their only worry is the same as it was with HRC....did they guess right, in how much to alter to vote, or not.

Tonight we will learn whether our country’s republic will be restored working WITHIN the system, or restored through outside measures.

If that sounds old to you Berlin, I can’t imagine what you think about me going door-to-door for Goldwater when I was 15

CNN just had a graphic of college educated and mo college educated voters from their exit poll. Moore won College by 20+ points and non college by more than that. Then they said it was too close to call. Since that would cover every voter they asked, they know, but won’t say, Sad

I was listening to Michael Medved today, and he was very very very very confident that Jones would win.

That’s who they polled

But if it’s accurate of the turnout racial percentages

Moore wins by 7-10

Much less than Trump did

It’s no win baring a blow out

The media will poo poo a Moore victory

No I really thought it started the other way around. But after I copied the new numbers they showed Jones ahead. I did post a never mind. I should have been paying more attention.

Well, according to Drudge (who’s been cheerleading for Jones 24/7) Jones is ahead 64% to 36%.

Of course, when you click on the link (and only then) you learn that this is with 0.03% of the vote in, so it means less than NOTHING. But it makes good propaganda, I guess.

Are they cheating? Is Jones really ahead by 60-40? That seems impossible.

“Beautiful Ohio” is the Ohio State Song.

“Hang on Sloopy” is the Ohio State Rock Song.
