Wow, is Jones going to avoid a run-off?

[Gass3268]

Wow, Jones up huge in Jefferson.

No Blackbelt in yet, it'll close on the Dem side.

[Canis]

Wow, is Jones going to avoid a run-off?

Too early to tell  only 12 precincts in so things could change very quickly

[TheSaint250]

Kinda hoping for Kennedy all the way through.  He would be a good addition to Congress.

But the downside is that this could allow Democrats to take control in 2018, so...

It's a Strange feeling waiting to see which candidate will get Moore votes.



I'm sorry.

I know it's early, but if Jones's numbers in Jefferson hold, I don't see how Kennedy can keep him under 50%, unless he absolutely destroys him in the Black Belt.

And who has the Mo-mentum?

Jones is now winning in Montgomery, which is Black Belt, still early but that's big for Jones.

There we go I was trying to think of ways to work in Mo Brooks.  i was too focused on his last name, not his first

Jones is getting a good margin out Montgomery County.

[GlobeSoc]

What's colbert county doing on the dem side?

[TheSaint250]

Bold prediction:

Brooks comes in 1st tonight, defeats Moore in the runoff by 20%, leaving Strange in a...Strange situation (sorry I had to do it as well).

Brooks then defeats Jones by at least 50% because, as GeorgiaModerate said, Mo-mentum.

[Ebsy]

What's colbert county doing on the dem side?

Someone had a lot of cousins fill out absentee ballots.

[Pandaguineapig]

Why can't the south count votes quickly?

[GeorgiaModerate]

There was some heavy rain in southern Alabama during the day, which might depress turnout there relative to the rest of the state.  Who would this help/hurt?

Help Brooks and hurt Strange.

[Xing]

I'm going to predict that Jones has got this without a run-off. The Republican side looks interesting, though, and I wouldn't count Brooks out yet.

[DrScholl]

What's colbert county doing on the dem side?

That candidate is a minister in Florence.

[Ebsy]

That candidate is a minister in Florence.

Florence is the county seat of Lauderdale County immediately to the north of Colbert County.

Limestone dump puts Brooks in second...

BROOKS IN SECOND!!!!!!!
