There’s some real yahoos in GA, but going in to AL from here is going backwards in time.

Wow. Look at turnout in Perry Co. (Black Belt). It's at 76% of 2016 turnout and Jones is winning by 59%. Meanwhile, Houston Co. (Moore base) at only 58% of 2016 turnout. Jones has to like that. #ALSEN

Not too long now before this race is called, yeah? Moore has the W.

Waiting for Hannity to come back from a break, but other cable news seems (appropriately for human beings) somber - assuming Moore will hold the lead.

Jones now over 60% chance of winning, and trending up:

The pattern all night has been later reporting precincts are better for Moore. That's been what's been happening in Walker, Lauderdale, Morgan, and elsewhere. If it happens in Jefferson and Mobile too, this could be very close. But the clear edge now is for Jones.

Jones just went over 80%...

Jones wins

Yes. That is my experience as well. Alabama took it to 11 and I was there only days.There’s some real yahoos in GA, but going in to AL from here is going backwards in time.

If Jones prevails, as looks increasingly likely, a major reason would be that the black share of Alabama vote is way up vs. past elections. #ALSEN

The strongest rebuke of Trump yet.
Politics And Current Events
Moore is 12k down, and his strongest bases of support are already100% reported. He's underperforming both in turnout and against the normal Republican spread.

If this holds, best election ever.

Lots of overthought thinkpieces will come out, but this is again, about all politics being local.
The only reason this was even remotely close was because Robert Bentley thought he could get out of his ethics investigation by nominating his AG to the Senate, who turned out to be himself ethically challenged. Then, when it came time for the primary Mitch McConnell kneecapped the freedom caucus candidate Mo Brooks allowing Moore to beat him out and force a runoff between Moore and Strange which Moore won.
So I wouldn't draw any actual conclusions from this.

Yeah, I don't think this has anything to do with Trump. I have to say though, it's damned refreshing to see voters actually abandon their party or (for some) cross party lines to keep creep out of national office.So I wouldn't draw any actual conclusions from this.
