Alabama Senate Race Isn’t Over — Here’s Why
We’re watching the Alabama Senate results and the major networks and our friends at Decision Desk HQ all have Republican Roy Moore up by several points over Democrat Doug Jones, with about half of the precincts in.
So why hasn’t anyone called the race yet?
Two simple reasons.
First, Jones has outperformed his benchmarks in several key urban counties that are critical for Democrats, as Decision Desk points out:
With about half in for #ALSen, Moore is up 4%, but Jones is running ahead of his benchmarks (blue) in several crucial counties (Jefferson, Mobile, Tuscaloosa). pic.twitter.com/U3mX2EgTiG

Second, as is very common with election results, the metropolitan areas are some of the slowest to report, and those are the areas with the heaviest Democratic turnout. Until we see more complete results from the cities, Moore’s lead is not guaranteed to hold.
It’s all about turnout. Stay tuned.
