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

[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.

The NYT usually sucks but they have fantastic online election result coverage.

Yep. Absolute best for 2016 presidential. They were way out front of news media with Trump victory. Shocking but true.

[TexasFreeper2009]

because the facts are the facts.

I actually had a dream a couple of weeks ago. I dreamt that Moore won by a huge margin and at the end of the dream was a map of the South and Alabama was covered by a hand with the middle finger sticking up toward Kentucky.

The NYT has good metrics for elections - this is the on I watched most on Nov 8th last year.

[napscoordinator]

As far as cable news goes, CNN is superior to Fox and MSNBC with election coverage. Now tonight I won’t watch because it is just one race and I will find out on Free Republic, but November 2016 and November 2018, I will be watching CNN. The board they use and the guy doing scenarios is very good. That is the ONLY time I watch CNN, but I do have to give them props for it.

[DoughtyOne]

I think we can safely say Moore has won.

Why you may ask?

Because if Jones were in the lead, the media would be spreading the word far and wide about the exit polls.

Crickets?

Moore is killin it.

NYT ALREADY know the results and are setting up another narrative.

Polls are still open... and never underestimate the ability of the dems to raise the dead to vote.

[cotton1706]

Bump for later!

[Vendome]

Live thread link please.

Two hours from closing and we should have a pretty good idea of the winnuh...

[CottonBall]

I agree. CNN has the best election maps. I can’t remember exactly which network it was last time, maybe even fox, that tried to emulate them. They had varying colors of red I think, and they all looked the same!

[DoughtyOne]

Hey, never say never...

I doubt it seriously, but who knows how low they will sink.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

The Democrats cheat every time. The media never reports on it.
