Discussion Megathread: Alabama Senate Special Election

Posted: 12 Dec 2017 06:29 AM PST

Introduction

Today, Alabama is holding a special election for its US Senate seat currently occupied by Luther Strange. The seat was vacated following former Senator Jeff Sessions' confirmation as US Attorney General. Polls close at 7pm Central.

If you live in Alabama and still haven't voted, find your polling place. Voter ID is required to cast a ballot, but the state permits 10 different forms of voter identification. Same-day registration is not possible in Alabama, so make sure to register for next time if you haven't already.

/r/AlabamaPolitics is also hosting a Reddit Live thread here with minute-to-minute updates on the election.

Candidates

  • Republican Roy Moore (fmr. Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice).

  • Democrat Doug Jones (fmr. US Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama).
