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.

Just a plurality I believe. Georgia has the runoff rule.

If this continues as the needle predicts it's likely to go to recount. Good thing the state SC said that electronic ballot information doesn't have to be saved!

If you think Jones is going to win, then you haven't read a book called "Slavery by Another Name" - do that tomorrow, it'll make you feel even less warm and fuzzies for this horrible pool of assblood of a state. Voting in an accused pedophile is one of the noblest things they've done.

Let's all take a step back right now and remember that this race was not IMMEDIATELY called for the Republican candidate the moment the polls closed. The fact that we're still here praying to The Needle is loving nuts.

Uk Goons did this poo poo during their last election. I saw their thread.

In fairness, that day was like if you guys had gone into 2004 expecting a solid Bush win and ended up having President Kerry. poo poo was wildly out of line with expectations, even those of us who strongly support Jezza.

Nights like that and this one remind me why I'm so into politics.

I'm not even an AL citizen, but if Jones pulls through, I might honestly cry a bit. It would really give me hope that we can all unite and stand for something.

It's percentage of counted votes versus their expected votes. The same fancy math that gets us the needle.

ooh, the CNN narrative is beginning to change! The overlords at CNN have decided that the time for the twist has come. Their expert is now pointing out (which we knew for a while) that a lot of Moore's vote is now in, and that Jones has a shitton of black votes not yet reported.

In even more fairness, Bush stole that election through a combination of politically influencing the "terror threat level" and also just straight election fraud in Ohio.

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

So the last time they elected a democrat was almost twenty years ago, is this supposed to prove me wrong? Moore is going to win.
