Live Alabama Election Results: Roy Moore and Doug Jones Compete for Senate Seat

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.

These exit polls are bunk Claiming in a state Trump won by 28 points that now support for Trump is dead even My cousin told me whites were ignoring the exit pollsters or admonishing them for being biased And blacks and the few white Dems were running to them to talk to them I️ don’t trust them based on the approval factor for Trump No way

[uncitizen]

Tehe, yeah I guess it is

[Stop the decline]

Actually .004 percent.

[OttawaFreeper]

Believe that is coming from the traditionally blue areas initially.

[Fresh Wind]

Most of the votes are from Mobile county.

[PermaRag]

Because apparently those college/non-college figures were for whites only. Racists will vote damn near 100% for Jones as the media has instructed them, so that’s why Moore can’t possibly win in a blowout. But a margin of even just 1 vote gets the job done.

Whoever that judge was that issued the last minute ruling allowing them to destroy the voting records, that's the judge that is complicit in this voter fraud. He/She needs to be .

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

I sit corrected. But it is an official state sanctioned song, at least.
:D

I saw your post not on the live thread itself, but on the latest posts. Which means I had not yet seen all the other Rebel Yells on the live thread when I made mine. :)

Billy Idol had all the energy to blow the roof off of arena-sized venues, so I can imagine how crazy it must have been to see him in a smaller venue.

One more song reference for tonight, courtesy of Kidd Rock: “We are singing ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ all autumn long!”

LOL, that just proves you are not a robot ...

[Ted Grant]

Yeah, he looked mortified opening the show. So did Hume.
