Elephants are mammals of the family Elephantidae and the largest existing land animals. Three species are currently recognised: the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant.

Huh, that's interesting... most of the counties going for Moore have all finished counting, while half the ones going Jones at the moment still have plenty precincts left to count.

Ie, if their strata holds, Jones is going to make up the difference in total numbers. In plain english: Soon the needle is only going to go left...

You should look up the last time a Democratic Senator was elected in Alabama.

Hint: it was every year of the 20th century until 1998. IIRC

Reminder: Doug Jones was never expected to win, guys. This was not even supposed to be close. Alabama isn't close. Ever. The winner of every statewide race is declared in seconds after the polls close and it is ALWAYS the Republican.

For the last two hours we have made every GOP strategist sweat and poo poo blood. Even if Jones goes down tonight, he goes down throwing haymakers to the end.

I'm coming around to agreeing with you here though, this really is FAR closer than it had any right to ever be in Alabama. But, I'm really not sure how much that has to do with Trump/blue wave/whatever and not Moore himself making this race one that is out of the ordinary and not indicative of any future election performances.

The needle is left because it's already accounting for this.

Shifts in the needle indicate that precincts are over/underperforming.

Does Jones need to win with more than 50% of the total vote, or does he just need a majority? I seem to recall something about this being different by state.
