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.

Good; remember too that McC of KY was born in Alabama in 1942. He is actually five years older than Judge Moore.

Ouch, a 32.4% spread...

May our Heavenly Father and Sovereign God OVERRULE this decision and protect us from evil intentions!!

In what is being described as a “spurious,” ruling, an Alabama court says officials can destroy all digital voting records for the state’s special Senate election between Republican Judge Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones.

I think Rove was talking about his “pucker”.

I think the NYT link is a good one to follow. It was straight forward on election night last year and not at all misleading.

Tonight they are projecting two medium sized cities (Huntsville and Mobile) as going 54% and change for the Democrat prior to any votes being tabulated. I will be interesting to see how close they are when the real votes come in.

When was the last time Carl Rove and his stupid white board right about anything?

[snarkytart]

This means nothing to me. Is this a conservative County a Bellwether County a liberal County?

Thanks for this thread and the NYT link. I wonder if write-in votes will screw up the election for Moore? Seems like a wild card.
