Inside The Alabama Election Upset

In an extremely close and unexpected race, Democrat Doug Jones has defeated Republican Roy Moore in the Alabama special election.

Jones won by 1.5% with 673,236 votes to Moore’s 652,300, but Moore is not conceding defeat yet. He instead has vowed to call a recount, stating: “this isn’t over.” About 1.7% of voter wrote in the name of a candidate not running, which very well may have cost Moore the position.
