US ones are always like this, you can infer a head-to-head figure from them but that isn't what they're designed to do and they get adjusted a lot as returns come in.

I'm not getting my hopes up. I'd love to have the optimism of anyone who believes Jones will get elected.
How so? The question is terrible. Saying that as a political scientist. If I was a hardcore democratic voter, I would also have said that it didn’t influence my vote as I would have voted Jones anyway. Pointless.
His faceI'd love to throw popcorn into that open mouth during those seconds of silence.
As Jones needed support of large numbers of people who dont normally vote and these allegations would have been what motivated them to vote.
Its really early though and the data will be updated as more votes come in, so we'll have a clearer idea in the next 1 or 2 hours.

I’m getting confident
Black turnout also defying expectations.

Also this:
I still don't think that Jones will win. My hope is that, if Moore wins, it will be by a small margin. A 5-10% shift in Alabama may not make a difference, but it can make a difference in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida and so on.

These are areas with large African-American populations.
You are not supposed to crush a man psyche like that. You can just see it flee his body and hear the door shutting.
One down and three to go
Still going to be a tough ask.
Huh? What are your four things?
Going to bed now. Hoping to wake up to new that the pedo has lost.
Polls closing in 15 minutes.
Moore campaign strategist saying they are getting strong turnout in the republican counties.
Who gives a shit what they say. Have been lying for months.
He sounded very confident.
Guy was confident about the Bible...
Polls closed in Bama:
Results trickling in shortly

Can't see twitter here. Any chance Jones pulls it off?
Maybe
Too early to tell. Exit polls have him underperforming Romney with white voters so far, but we don't know how the other demos are doing so far, most notably black voters.
What a shambles, people putting politics over morality etc. Makes me sick...
Only way Jones takes it if blacks/minorities/millennials turn out in big numbers. Like Trump, the GOP aren't straying from the flock no matter what. It will be all too easy to 'stick it to liberals' in the privacy of the voting booth.
If those poll numbers on college-educated whites are anywhere near correct, then this will be an easy Moore victory.
Jones doing well in the Dem leaning counties so far.
Unfortunately, this is where the country is now. Protect the unborn but nothing beyond.
Can't lie, I'm getting a bit of PTSD flashback to last November when my brain could not bridge from what I thought should happen to what actually was happening
So far, both sides are beating their benchmarks in their core voting areas. Nothing is decided here at all. Jones' ocore areas just have moe voters, so if he continues to outperform his benchmarks by such margins, he might have a shot.
Moore is up by a few percentage points with 30% reporting
Well at least if Moore gets in, it will add diversity to the Senate.
Peados being represented.
4 biggest counties are all still below 25% of votes reported, and they are hugely facouring Jones, who is outperfoming is benchmarks there by double digit percentages.
54/44%. Early but quite a lead. Another low for the gop.
NYT saying there is a 76% of Jones winning.
Yes indeed. Lets see how Mobile county does.
