I am going to say.....I think it's going to be down to the wire.
Right now, Moore is leading by 5 percentage points, but in going down the list of counties that have reported in, *most* of the ones going for Moore are almost done (not all, just most.) But it's looking like about half the ones that are going for Jones still have a ways to go before the hit the '100% reported' mark--and Jones is getting some of the heavy population centers (Birmingham, Montgomery).
I'm not saying Jones will win, but I think at the very end, it's going to be closer than expected.
And as I was typing this, Moore's lead shrank to 2.5.
Im looking at NYT's website, and they are suggesting the opposite.
in the counties where Moore is over performing, turnout is lower overall, where Jones is over performing, turn out is higher.
We are talking about the difference between 76% turnout int he black belt and 58% in the ring that surrounds Huntsville.
Meanwhile in the southeast corner of the State, Moore has lost about 4 percentage points, He looks to be losing ground around Auburn, Phoenix City and Opelika as well(Lee and Russell Counties), 6th largest metro area. He looks to have lost a couple of counties that he won in 2012 east of Birmingham.
This may be a long night and I have to be at work at 5 am, dang it.
Jones can still win this - the areas that haven't reported favor him more than Moore I think. I could be wrong, but I am comparing today's map with 2016...which is why I knew early on in 2016 that Trump had a great chance.
This chubby guy on CNN is having a heartattack....
So are the 2 women next to him.
This is the only time of the year I'll watch CNN.
I forgot to watch their entertainment on 2016 election day....
If the Senate opens an investigation that finds Moore is Not Guilty, that'll be extremely good for Republicans going forward and will cast more doubt over Trump's accusers in turn.
Hmmm, ok.. On the other hand his repeated violations of the Constitution are well documented. That alone should be more than enough for an "unfit for public office" designation.
0% in for chambers and dallas county. jefferson only 50% in as well
