Thank god, this was starting to give me flashbacks to 2016 when it was obvious Trump was going to win and you just saw Clinton's "lead" evaporate as more results came in.

This election might go down as one of the strangest in history when it comes to analyzing/predicting the results

MSNBC shows it as 53-46 for Moore with 60% in... so why are people still hopeful? Honestly asking, not trolling.

The votes remaining to come in tend to come from Dem strongholds. It comes down to how Democratic the outlet projects those votes to be.

I'm not super knowledgeable about the remaining counties so I am wondering the same thing. Seems like it isn't looking good for Jones.

The remaining chunk of the vote is in urban areas and the Black Belt, all are very pro-Jones.

The majority of votes still to be counted are in urban areas like Birmingham that are going to go heavily for Jones.

I was wondering about this too. My wife has been looking at other news sources and says it doesn't look good for Jones, but the NY Times is saying something different. I guess it's the predictive model while MSNBC and others are just working off of incoming vote counts?

Most of the Republican-leaning areas of the state have completely or mostly reported, while many votes are still uncounted in heavily-populated areas that lean Democratic.

Yeah Jefferson Co has Birmingham, but if the suburbs like Vestavia, Hoover and Homewood didn't show up to vote like this model is projecting so far, it looks really good for Jones.

Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Huntsville, Mobile, and Montgomery are where the votes are out.

Those are urban areas where Jones is expected to do gonzo good based on results so far.

This is what Virginia was like until the urban areas got counted too in the Presidential election. Granted much different state with a VERY solid blue north but the vote swung drastically.

The enthusiasm for Jones in Tuscaloosa was really high. A lot of my friends canvassed there and in Northport, the two bigger cities there. I think theres going to be some great turnout there, especially from the west end

Vestavia and Homewood should swing for Jones. Every square inch of the place is covered in Jones signs, even in the really traditionally conservative rich white areas. Hoover is harder to say.
