Exit poll results are coming in...

On whether the allegations of sexual misconduct against Moore are true or false, Alabamians are nearly evenly divided on Tuesday.

Four in 10 voters say the allegations played an important factor in their vote, while a majority says it was not an important factor. Still, less than 1 in 10 said it was the most important factor in their vote on Tuesday. One in 3 voters said the allegations werent a factor at all.

Almost 9 in 10 supporters of Jones say they believe the sexual misconduct allegations against Moore are true, while 9 in 10 Moore voters say the sexual misconduct allegations are false.

Those actually aren't bad numbers for Jones.

Other exit poll results:

Opinion of Senate candidate you voted for:
Strongly support him - 65%
Support with reservations - 21%
Dislike the other guy - 12%

Not great numbers for Jones, imo, considering the voting population there is like 60-70% republican.

The bad news is that the 4 in 10 who the allegations were an important factor for thought it was super cool that Moore is a pedo and voted for him because of it.

Moore wins with 90% of the vote.

Well 4/10 said it mattered, and you have to assume those voters are going predominantly to Jones. But 55% said it didn't, and you have to assume the majority of those are going to Moore. I'd say those numbers are honestly better for Moore than Jones.

I don't know, theoretically if you were already a democrat the allegations aren't important to your vote because you were voting against Moore anyway, so obviously the 4/10 is all republicans.

new prediction: Jones wins with 80%

Assuming no bias that would mean Jones needs around 70-75% support from that 39% to win if we are using Trump/Clinton numbers.

That's not unreasonable. If you figure he likely gets doubled up by that 61% that had already decided (which the race was actually a bit tighter than expected before the allegations), you're starting out with 40 to 21% roughly, meaning 29% would likely have to go to Jones and that's about 75% of those late deciders.

The people of Alabama will do the right thing. Doug Jones is Pro-Abortion, weak on Crime, Military and Illegal Immigration, Bad for Gun Owners and Veterans and against the WALL. Jones is a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet. Roy Moore will always vote with us. VOTE ROY MOORE!

I saw that report but also wouldn't expect anything to come of it. It would make no sense for them to walk back their expulsion talk to "let the people decide" only to swerve again.

Honestly would expect it to be more of a "okay how do we run damage control" meeting.
