Aye! Common sense and righteousness prevails but this should never have been a 'close race' at all TBF!
While it sure was a close race the fact that this result shows a 28% swing towards the Democrats compared to the Presidential election last year shows the size of the achievement that Jones has secured!! Lets remember Alabama is the deepest red of all the red states and is one of the most fervent Christian states as well, so to turn around a result like this is truly monumental, akin to the safest Tory, Labour or SNP seat falling at the next election!!
We also have to temper this with the fact that this was a vote against Moore more than Trump probably. The next time this seat is up for election assuming Moore is nowhere near the ballot paper then I would be very surprised if it stays blue!!
