Alabama Election Thread

by — ,

Will you be singing Sweet Home Alabama? Or will Alabama Get Away? Either way this is the place to discuss tonight’s Yellowhammer special election. If it ain’t (broadly) about this election, take that crap to the previous open thread.

I’ll be (*ahem*) Mobile on my way to Roanoke Park Place Tavern, and may post random observations and whatnot as the spirit moves me.

Here’s one for the geeks among us:

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%

6:20: 33% in, Moore up by 5%.

6:26: Now 40% in and Moore is still up by 5%.

6:33: Yep…with 50% of precincts reporting, Moore’s lead over Jones has shrunk to 3%. Remember, bigger and more urban precincts usually report later….

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%.

7:37: I love the fact that Jones’ margin of victory is LESS THAN the number of write-in votes. In so many ways, this qualifies as a STRANGE election!

7:52: If you are an Alabamian, child molestation is worse than being a Democrat. VERY SLIGHTLY WORSE!

Drinking Liberally — Seattle
