2. Alabama Turnout Is At Near Presidential Election Levels As Republicans Fail To Keep Voters Home

I hope that this report is accurate

If the pattern established in previous special elections holds true, high turnout has led to Democratic over performance. Alabama Republicans are trying to keep turnout low because that means Democrats and potential Doug Jones voters stayed home.

The election looks like it is going to be close, but it won’t be the kind of low turnout walkover that Republicans were hoping for.

3. Im not trying to get anyones hopes up, but I read some cautious good news.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The campaign chairman for Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones sounded notes of cautious optimism Tuesday afternoon as Alabama voters continued to cast ballots in a pivotal special election here.

Giles Perkins said he had observed signs of high voter turnout in Jefferson and Montgomery counties — populous Democratic strongholds where Jones is trying to run up the score against Republican candidate Roy Moore. Perkins expressed uncertainty about whether this could determine the race’s outcome.

“It appears we have a significant turnout in Jefferson County, and I find that encouraging,” he said in an interview.
