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.

This is gonna play out like VA did in 2016 with the Rat areas swamping the vote totals in the last 30 minutes. Not good...

The progressive Republicans stayed home after being egged on by the GOPe. Blacks didn’t. That might be enough to put Jones over the top.

They are stuffing ballot boxes in the ghettos. That is my fear.

Democrats aren't supposed to have that kind of organization in Alabama. How could they mobilize a fraud team so quickly in a state they abandoned long ago?

How could that go unchallenged by the entrenched Republican machine in Alabama?

So Republicans will vote for someone who is PRO ABORTION.even at the 9th freakin month NO WAY

I know!!! What’s killing babies compared to (MAYBE) calling some girl “beautiful” in a yearbook 40 years ago?

If Moore loses, we lose, too. That means the RATS can successfully trot out an endless number of lying, RAT women to say ANY candidate they don’t like did X, Y and Z to them (without any proof, and with no way of our guys proving it DIDN’T happen). Absolutely disgraceful.

“Well at least if Moore loses Franken will have to go ahead and resign.”
Al Franken was never going to resign. He will not resign, period!

Frankengroper had no intention of resigning. EVER...
