Alabama Megathread 3: Results Thread

[Sestak]

I have two finals tomorrow and I cant freaking focus on studying bc of this damn race

I feel ya. I have a paper due tomorrow that I have to write, but i'm not going to be able to focus while the results are coming in.

"I'm sorry, I was unable to finish my paper because of Roy Moore possibly blowing away a safe R seat".

He's going to blow up Alabama?

[Sestak]

The only thing Moore has going for him in these polls is the senatorial control preference. GOP - 51% Dems - 43%

That's hardly in his favor. All the D voters are definitely Jones. And I can see some Rs crossing ballot. So no. And also it's much more D than I'd expect from AL.

[Sestak]

Just in- 82% of Evangelicals believe accusations against Moore are false.

No surprise. But good for the other ~18%.

[Sestak]

All signs are pointing to a Doug Jones win. He could very well pull a Charlie Baker.

Be cautious.

Well, crap. That's disappointing. I swear there was a Baldwin County newspaper article earlier in this thread reporting relatively low turnout, but this seems Fairly reliable.

According to the probate judge of that county the higher turnout is due to younger voters and african americans

Yeah. Baldwin was high, but probate judge thought Jones might get up to 35% of it due to demographics.

45 not 35 was what the judge said if i remember right

It was either 45 turnout 35 jones or 35 turnout 45 jones. Idr which one.
