Alabama Megathread 3: Results Thread

Another article (from NBC) about concerns over Black voter turnout: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/amp/jones-needs-black-voters-beat-moore-alabama-try-telling-them-n827846

White journalists flying in to interrogate them over the election probably isn't helping, tbh

I get it. Many of these people have dealt with racism and racists their entire life. Telling them to get out and vote Jones because he isn't racist, isn't exactly the most exciting pitch. What is he going to do for them? And the fact that he has to tiptoe around their issues so he doesn't trigger white voters he needs. It is a precarious position that I do not envy.

If I were an Alabama republican, I would write-in Strange. No vote for the (likely) pedo, and no vote for a Democrat. Problem solved.

From the Atlanta mayoral election to the Virginia gubernatorial election and many others across the nation this year, Democratic enthusiasm has been seriously underestimated. I'm not saying I expect Doug Jones to win, but it's still possible folks.

I'll give you Virginia. However, the Atlanta Mayor's race was won by about 700 votes in both 2009, and 2017 (little change there).

I think they meant that Norwood was leading by like 6 points in the last poll but ended up losing to the Democrat.

And quite frankly, an added decade of gentrification and white movement back into the city should have been an easy Norwood win. Not the same result from a decade ago when AAs were a larger portion of the electorate.

I can't believe three-quarters of the voting eligible populace just don't care at all. It's sad because it's the voters who are casting their ballot with hate, vengeance, and scorn in their hearts are the ones who care enough to go vote.

Obama doing a robocall telling voters to reject Roy Moore.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/11/politics/barack-obama-alabama-senate/index.html

Ummmm, I’m hoping this robocall is being confined to the Montgomery CSA and the rest of the black belt.

“We shouldn’t be here, I’m leaving,” Moore said, according to Sailing.

LOL. Sure.

One MSNBC Exit Poll Question

Link?

I'm watching it live...  Sorry

Another one was which Party would you rather be in control of the Senate

51% GOP, 43% Democrats

Republican Party Approval is 43/51 which of course could just mean anger at Establishments and not Democratic anger

[Rookie Yinzer]

MSNBC Democratic Favorability 44/52....

[Rookie Yinzer]

The "Time of Decision" may actually be good for Moore?? Or good for Jones because his supporters wouldn't have to think twice?? Unsure.

Alabama is hyper polarized. 40 percent making a decision over the past month is rather high. This isn't Ohio or Iowa we are talking about.

CNN: 55% unfavorable opinion of Roy Moore

Whoa!

That's worse than most polls for Moore.  This could be a disaster.

On a side note, are there any Clinton-Moore voters?  Who would they be??

A 93 year old white woman who wanted to vote for a woman before she died and knew it wouldn't change the statewide outcome? LOL.

40/54 believe that abortion should remain legal so I don't think Moore's "anti-life," "anti-baby," propaganda worked.

Black Alabamians are pro-life and Jones was going to get 90 percent of them regardless.

54-40 which way- and how was the question phrased?

Should abortion remain legal?

Yes- 40
No- 54

[Rookie Yinzer]

White voters: 70-27 Moore
Black voters: 95-5 Jones

[Rookie Yinzer]

Moore +22 Whites w/ Degree.... Romney was +59

Moore +58 Whites w/ no Degree.... Romney was +75

Watching Talladega County... it looks it usually matches the statewide total.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Tuscaloosa absentee votes have Jones up 73-25

[Rookie Yinzer]

Jones won Talladega! It's a bellwether so it will be close. Lean Jones.

[Rookie Yinzer]

OMG Jones won Lee County!
