Republican Roy Moore is projected to have lost the Alabama Senate special election to Democrat Doug Jones.

According to exit polls, voter turnout in white areas was down while turnout in black areas was up.

While President Trump won the Alabama presidential election in 2016 by 28 points, Roy Moore is projected to lose by 1.4 points.

Jones now beating our estimates, on average, by 2.5 points in the 6 completed counties.
There is also stronger turnout in Democratic areas.

Limestone County (red exurbs of Huntsville) fully in. In 2016, it went for Trump by 49 points. Tonight, it went for Moore by 19 points.

Jones actually improved on Clinton’s raw overall vote: From 9,468 to 9,606.

Whites allowed themselves to be gaslit by the media's hysterics into staying home, meanwhile the same media told blacks that Roy Moore was going to bring back slavery.

As people make predictions based on how much of the black vote is still outstanding in #AlabamaSenateElection, it's funny how pundits know demographics are destiny when it comes to election night, but it becomes evil if you say it any other time.

We're going to have to wait two years before the seat can come back.

I hate everyone who opposed Roy Moore, so I'd laugh if he won, but I secretly hope Moore loses, so Mo Brooks can replace the Dem in 2 years.

Here's a full demographic breakdown from NBC News' exit polls:

Thanks to the Republican establishment doing everything in their power to sabotage Roy Moore, the Senate in 2018 could now be a toss up.

Incredibly, the fight for control of the US Senate in 2018 should now be considered a toss-up

Congratulations to Doug Jones on a hard fought victory. The write-in votes played a very big factor, but a win is a win. The people of Alabama are great, and the Republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends!
