right now it's predicting a 3% win for Jones, which would be really significant. the 9% margin was always a joke -- Northam got that in Virginia, remember.

Yeah I dared to hope for a blowout for a second. THAT was dumb.

So I think Moore is gonna lose.

A republican winning Alabama would be the biggest upset since the New England Patriots last making the playoffs!

AHAHAHA yeah they're scared. It's Alabama. Any other time the republican winning wouldn't even be a question. This is mega trying to force a narrative and temper expectations

The nerds are not budging. CNN and the networks are still looking at raw vote totals and saying Moore is ahead but maybe Jones can come back. But the math nerds are saying "oh hell no, lots of rural whites stayed home tonight, Moore is not doing good enough, he's gonna get crushed when the black vote comes in".

The nerds were right last time.

So the black belt and the rest of all rural counties have mostly reported in giving us the current Moore+7, and it comes down to how effective the suppression campaigns worked in the cities and larger towns.

it's going to come down to urban turnout for Moore, and if his rural turnout is any indication then it's not looking good for him

If I'm the president of CNN, I want them to do exactly what they are doing now. Keep hope alive enough that people don't turn it off, but make people think Moore is ahead and then.... BLAMMO!!! Shocking turnaround, Jones wins, Good triumphs over evil, reported to you live from.... CNN. :smug:

Ok, so the last few Senate elections for that seat have been like +30 Republican, except once where they didn't even bother to run a Dem because it was such a Republican stronghold.
