Perhaps the most interesting part:

Among African-American voters, Moore peels off 24.8% to Jones’ 70.9%, while among white voters, Jones has a surprising 36.1% to Moore’s 58.5%.

If you can keep that number of white voters and get AA voters to not vote for a racist... dems could win this.

1. Looks like Jones actually has a shot at this.

[BannonsLiver]

2. Moore's African American numbers are disturbing.

In another time he would have been a full blown segregationist. Hell he probably is now but doesn't talk about it.

[Casprings]

4. I would think it is his religious wording

But.. he has made many statements that need to be brought to the attention of AL’s AA community. Plus Jones literally put KKK members in jail.

8. Decipimur Specie Recti

People are deceived by the appearance of rectitude.

[RhodeIslandOne]

23. There is a segment of African Americans in the Deep South....

....who will never vote for the Democratic Party, even though all the "old Democrats" became Republicans.

3. This is encouraging

[ananda]

5. Wow!

AA's would actually vote for that asshole?!!!

[lapfog_1]

11. I would guess that they like his southern baptist rantings.

but that's just a guess.

Also, name recognition... even if negative... goes a long ways.

[Casprings]

17. We can get that number down...

Not sure if they can get the white number down. One would think they are mostly educated whites.

6. WTF is wrong with 25% of blacks in Alabama

So basically if Jones numbers were higher among blacks he would be winning or tied.

7. You have to worry about them suppressing the AA and Hispanic vote down there.

They are much more in your face to African Americans and Hispanics down there, very intimidating.

[MFM008]

9. hes moved up

he was 20 points down on Tuesday.....

[Kentonio]

10. I like those numbers a lot.

Surely we need to be piling major resources into this race, and pushing Moore's most extreme statements to his most vulnerable voting groups.

12. Places to donate

Alabama Democratic Party (usually provides the apparatus to win the race including on the ground staff and support--- it is important to help out to keep them going year round)
DSCC (Arm of the Democratic Party responsible for winning US senate races. Funnels money into the state party for staff, etc and does independent ads, mailers, etc)
DOug Jones directly

In addition I've been emailed by Democracy for America already about this race. If I get other emails from other organizations, I'll post here.

[progressoid]

13. Maybe now the DSCC will support him financially.

14. This is really good considering how much Moore has been in the press

Trump made an appearance and I would suspect that he dominated local TV and newspapers after Tuesday.

[FSogol]

15. Don't read much into this. It's only a couple of days past the primary.

[mountain grammy]

16. I've found peace by giving up hope.

that said, I'll donate to Jones. Just have no hope he can win.

[no_hypocrisy]

18. WTF. You might as well dig up George Wallace and let Alabama

vote him in for Senate.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. "Among African-American voters, Moore peels off 24.8% to Jones 70.9%"

[rogue emissary]

20. This can't only be on African Americans backs.

Caucasians outnumber African Americans three to one. Jones needs to do a lot better with Caucasians. Hypothetically, it needs to be like Jones' 45% to Moore's 49.5% for AA to make a difference.

[Casprings]

21. He just needs to stay where he is with whites

The normal range for dems is about 17% of the white
Vote. That number is as good as it will get.
They just can’t go home to Moore.

[kentuck]

22. Moore can only go down.

Jones will only go up.
