Alabama Megathread 3: Results Thread

[RFK Jr.’s Brain Worm]

I'm thinking negative 1% or so.

Can't believe that we needed thread number three before Election Day.

From the Atlanta mayoral election to the Virginia gubernatorial election and many others across the nation this year, Democratic enthusiasm has been seriously underestimated. I'm not saying I expect Doug Jones to win, but it's still possible folks.

I too believe in the Blue Wave. That's been my thinking. I don't think it will be a blow out for Jones, but he could pull through. Less than 3 days.

Democratic group American Bridge has a digital ad pushing Nick Saban as a write-in:

God dammit. Some Democrats are useless.

You may not be able to get everyone who's on the fence about Moore to vote for Jones. As long as you can get them to not vote Moore, that's something of a win.

What would the race look like if Jones ran as a pro-life Democrat?

Maybe a 1% or 2% better at best but not much more so. The election seems to be coming down to whether voters believe the allegations against Roy Moore.

Moore's reason for not debating Jones was his position that Trans people have rights; I don't think it would make a huge difference if Jones was pro-life. There would be reasons to hate Jones regardless of his abortion positions. 1-2% sounds about right. I'd err towards 1%.

I for one can’t believe J-Law is pro-Moore.

Wut

Joking, didn't make it clear enough to the response above that one:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

And obviously a different "J-Law" given what the more well known J-Law said a few days back about Trump.

Wow, it's looking like a landslide folks.

Excellent. I was hoping someone would make one of those.

Sessions does not recall who he voted for. (Well, he probably does, but he won't say)

Just saw Doug give a quick interview with ABC. He seems VERY confident about tonight. I wonder if they have data that we don't. Maybe some internal polls?

Do you expect a candidate to look like Eeyore on election day?

Yeah. Remember good old jeb._ ?

Polls close at 8 ET. Follow results at: https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/alabama-senate-special-election-roy-moore-doug-jones

Results coverage will be at the linked thread: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=261809.new#new, however I do ask that the following stay on THIS thread: Paragraphs/Essay-Style #Analysis, Discussion of whether the Senate should expel Moore, Discussion of whether AL should secede from the union, and Discussion of whether IceSpear should leave the forum.

Not sure why Wulfric got to dictate these terms. I had no part in these negotiations, and are therefore invalidated.

Solution to the late-night elections dilemma is always the same: move to West Coast.

For anyone interested in what the Bernie wing thinks about today's election, Nina Turner just said on CNN that Democrats shouldn't celebrate in case Jones win.

I for one can't wait for the Bernie wing to scream that the Dems should had nominated a progressive because somehow it will make working class republicans switch en masse.

[RFK Jr.’s Brain Worm]

I'm predicting a 0.5% Jones victory. Subject to change. On the NYT page and watching CNN's hopeful analysis.

Edit: For f***'s sake I've submitted like 5 times and it always shows up the "Warning - while you were typing 2 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post."

You can turn off that warning in your personal settings. I did that a long time ago.

Damn. Been here for three years and just found that out.

[RFK Jr.’s Brain Worm]

Write ins will get counted now, won't they? They're bigger than the margin between Jones and Moore.

Hit the road Roy don't cha come back
No Moore no Moore no Moore no Moore
Hit the road Roy and don't cha come back
