Running Against Roy Moore: Can Doug Jones Win Over Alabama's Weary Voters?

Even in Alabama ZIP codes where Donald Trump dominated in 2016, there are lots of campaign signs that say "GOP for Jones." That is Doug Jones, the Democrat opposing Republican candidate Roy Moore in next week's special election for the U.S. Senate.

"We see them in yards of people we know who are conservative Republicans," says attorney Andrea Powers, who lives in suburban Birmingham.

Describing herself as a Reagan Republican, she plans to break party lines in the Senate race.

"In every presidential election since I was old enough to vote, I have voted for the Republican candidate," says Powers. "Yet here, I have absolutely no compunction about voting for Doug Jones."
