Doug Jones won the special election for U.S. Senate Tuesday by a very small margin with one of the largest turnouts for any state election. According to the Associated Press, Moore had 82% of the votes in Winston County, 79% in Marion, and 69% in Franklin County. It was Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, Huntsville and south central Alabama which made Jones the winner.

Jones will fill out the remaining two years of the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by Jeff Sessions when he was appointed as U.S. Attorney General. This means in two years Jones will need to run again for the full 6-year term for the Senate. As has always been the case in Alabama politics, much can happen in two years or even two months or two days.
