Alabama Megathread 3: Results Thread

I agree with the talk about low turnout helping Jones. Me and my dad both supported Strange in the GOP primary and runoff. He says that he’s not voting this time.

I’m in Gadsden right now.. a lot more signs are out today for both candidates. Jones still has more than Moore.

Our those lawn signs or signs just on public property?

Both

  All of this could have been avoided had Trump gone all in for Mo Brooks in the primary, probably pushing him over the top to win the nomination.  Brooks is a low immigration advocate, party loyalist type who in hindsight was the safe choice from the beginning for Trump.

For the 100th time, Mo Brooks is not very popular in Alabama. He strongly opposed Trump in the primary, why would Trump endorse him now? Makes no sense, especially since Brooks isn’t very popular to begin with.

If you don't follow the polls board, you've missed that we have a Moore +9 poll from Emerson and a Jones +10 poll from Fox News today. Anyone's guess.

I am extremely ready for this election to be over.

Just try living here.. I can't wait for the constant commercials, phone calls, mail, etc. to stop.

Who would be a strong Republican candidate that could run against Jones in 2020? Bradley Byrne, perhaps?

Byrne wouldn't be terrible. He would run particularly strong in south Alabama. I'm not entirely sure who the strongest Republican would be.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well, and Jones really needs to do well in Mobile and Baldwin County in 2020. I'd be okay with Aderholt as well, but I don't think Roby could win the primary (or the GE, for that matter) after what happened in 2016.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Aderholt. I would have no problem with Roby but I doubt she could win the primary,

Well, the big day is here.  A few words of advice:

1. Don't read too much into anecdotal turnout or weather reports.

2. Ignore trolls.

3. If there are early exit poll results, take them with a grain of salt.

4. Have fun!

FWIW, there’s a 0% chance of rain today. Highs in the mid 40s

I just got home from voting with my grandparents. Hard to tell about turnout because of our small precinct but most polling places around here are very crowded.

I thought you weren't going to vote for anyone

Did you write anyone in?

I voted for Jones

Huntsville is certainly not a typical Alabama city.

Very true. Huntsville has a very large amount of college educated voters. The tech industry is also big in Huntsville.

Tweet from Brendan Kirby:
"Baldwin County Probate Judge Tim Russell thinks #AlabamaSenateRace turnout in his county might hit 35-40 percent range. He also thinks Doug Jones might take about 45 percent of that vote. If he's right, hard to see Roy Moore winning."

Is Baldwin considered R or D leaning?

It's a big R county. Also has a ton of votes.

I am so proud of/for my state!
