70% don't.

The question is, who turns out in the middle of December?

The Roy Moore voter, the Republican-at-any-cost voter, or the pro-Democratic/anti-Moore voter?

Let's hope some people are motivated to vote for Jones and turn out.

for the purposes of this election. Maybe it's just me, but the national partisanship divide appears to have recast Moore in the role of last hope of the rethug party, like losing Alabama to a Dem would be the end of the world. I think that's why his past doesn't bother the conservatives.
