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.

Praying fervently. Hope it’s mostly Christians in rural areas still to be counted from here on out.
Good
“:^)
HUGE ditto here! I just got to thinking ..wow Polly.....what’s with you? GOD is IN CONTROL........
and that goes either way.......JONES or MOORE!
Praise Him!
About 57,000 votes have been counted already. Mr. Moore leads in that count by 3.4 points.
and we should care what predict it says because why?
Moore up by 3!
@2% - Moore 40%
Prediction, Moore takes lead at 6-7% reporting ...
OK thanks. I thought the others did too but maybe not.
Jones just fell like a stone within the last 10 minutes on the NYT site. This will probably go back and forth quite a few times though.
The race was called for Moore an hour ago by OAN.

Over a 1000 vote lead for Moore.
And maybe some repub districts are “slow in counting” so other districts do not know how many “votes” to count(manufacture)
Roy Moore Republican 29,206 51.1%
Doug Jones Democrat 27,248 47.7
We're being told there will be no Montgomery County ballot results available until at least 8 p.m. #ALSen #alpolitics
Hmmm... 9PM EST
Moore needs to start catching up and keep the lead.
Nice. Now let’s get Moore over 54% so that they can’t Franken this seat.
After the early troll bait NY Slimes now put Moore ahead:
Roy Moore
29,206 51.1%
Doug Jones
27,248 47.7
—
724 1.3
Moore now in the lead. The early returns are always Dem.
The numbers so far show an electorate far more radicalized on both sides by county (urban Jones/rural Moore) than the models based on prior elections would indicate. All bets off.
