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.

LOL. I admit it. I am a fallen soul. I used to love garlic, but now I can't stand the smell of it :-(

The only way Jones wins is if the Trump hating GOPe country club set abandons Moore. The Dims spent money and turned out the black vote. The GOPe made no effort to keep progressive Republicans onside.

Moore won College by 20+ points and non college by more than that.

And somehow Moore is either going to lose or win by less than 10% according to most here. Having a hard time understanding what is going on.

So is Hewitt. He’ll need an extra dose or two of his on air pills.

You’re welcome. Good that you were there. They do a pretty good job with that gauge...about the only thing they’re good at.

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

That was only with like .4% of the vote in.

Reminds me of some Chinese made Christmas lights I once bought. The package said ‘for indoor and outdoor use only’.
