The New York Times is reporting that Moore and Jones are tied in the Alabama Senate race.
Moments later, with 88 percent of precincts reporting, Doug Jones took a 0.8 percent lead. This is obviously going to be one of the tightest Senate races in recent memory, and over 1 million voters have turned out.
Update: Roy Moore is now up by 31 votes according to Decision Desk HQ!
The AP is calling it for Doug Jones!

Fox News, which had Jones ahead by 10 points in a recent poll, has it as “too close to call”:

The reaction on Twitter at the moment:

Democrats don’t realize what they’ve done tonight. They did not win the election against Roy Moore fairly. The man was blindly called a “pedophile” & “child molester” without due process. They have forever changed the rules of the game & it will hurt them. #AlabamaSenateElection
