5:56: AP has Moore leading for the first time, 7% reporting….
6:02: I wish Washington election results would trickle in like this. This “one ballot dump a night” business sucks!
6:05: With 16% precincts reporting, Moore’s lead has shrunk to +2%.
6:10: Now 21% reporting, Moore’s lead is up to +5%
I pray Roy Moore loses, but I am grateful the campaign kept him too
busy to apply for a mall Santa job this year.— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) December 12, 2017
6:20: 33% in, Moore up by 5%.
6:26: Now 40% in and Moore is still up by 5%.
Half the votes are counted. Moore leads by four. But the needle is not impressed. pic.twitter.com/GxuBjP4AAo
— Binyamin Appelbaum (@BCAppelbaum) December 13, 2017

6:40: Moore’s lead is back up +7% with 62% in.
6:57: Now 75% reporting and Moore’s lead has shrunk to +3% (51% to 48%).
7:03: Now 77% and Moore’s lead shrinks to +2%.
7:06: And at 81%, Jones is down by -1%.
7:09: And with 85%, Jones is almost even with Moore at 49% each. Jones is still down about 5,000 votes out of a million and some votes.
7:13: NYT still has Jones winning with a 73% probability by a margin of 2.1%
7:15: And as I typed that, the NYT “needle” jumped giving Jones a probability of 84% and a final 2.7% margin.
7:19: AP has 86% of precincts and Moore’s lead is about 500 votes.
7:22: Now we have 88% reporting and Jones is up by 8,000 votes. The NYT web site has Jones probability of winning >95%.
