I think most us dont see much snow with this. Future wind chills already seeing values in the mid 30s in d. C. Right now. By later tonight, 11 p. M. , single disij its showing up north and west. By the time you hit the commute tomorrow morning, your first step outside to get kids ready for the bus stop were looking at low teens. This is borderline dangerous cold. You dont want to be out there too long. It will remain very chilly throughout the rest of the day. Fortysix is it for tomorrow. Some rebounded thursday, back to the chilly weather on friday much thats a look at your seven day forecast back over to you. It is election day in alabama. This years most bitter and controversial race coming to an end and a the final moments are expected to be a nailbitter. This is what talking about tonight at 6 30. This is an important race for our country. Voters are casting votes in one of the most watched senate races. Roy mower and doug jones are battling it out for attorney Jeff Sessions vacant seat. Alabama is heavily republican. Donald trump beat Hillary Clinton 636 to 37. Chief just stis of the Alabama Supreme Court for refusing to enforce rules, the constitution that he felt violated h his christian beliefs. The write in votes are a big deal with the somebody else vote reaches 5 percent or more it could be critical to the outcome of the race. Black voters are also important because they make up 25 percent of the population. The only democratic in congress has been pushing to get voters to the polls to vote for doug jones. Evangelicals, their support of him has not waiverred in the wake of the sexual allegations. Cliff young leads poll ster for thomson reuters. Thanks so much for being with us. Where do the polls stand right now . We know they can go up. They can go down. Whats the situation as it stands right now in. Its always a rough one. The polls have actually been all over the place. Some have shown moore up by ten, others have shown jones up by ten. We have mower up by two. This is remarkable in as of itself because alabama is a very red state. Indeed no democrat has won at the state level in the last 30 years. The average victory for republican around 25 points. Very much a nailbitter because mower is a controversial figure. Were going to hear flurry doug jones in a second. Being at the white house, whats inre moore was a guy at the white thus distanced themselves from. You would never guess that judg ing upon the fullen dwors ment donald trump has given him since. He has come around emphatically towards roy moore. If mower were to includes that would be seen as a very clear rebuke to the p particularly as my friend there said in such fervent eventually conservative state. Lets listen in to hear what roy moore had to say. Weve got doug jones. Sorry. We feel very comfortable with where we are and how this is going to turn out. More importantly weve more what weve done to the people of the united states. If indeed doug jones wins this what will this mean for congress . Well, it will obviously mean that the republican majority, which is already very will be cut to a one seat ma are the jo. That will make things like passing \tax\tacks reform and other legislative items more difficult forth Republican Party but many republicans feel like theyre in a loselose situation. Cliff, we heard from 2016, dont trust the polls. The situation looked at going into Election Night 2016, a totally different outcome. Do you think theres a concern with people who may not be forthright down in alabama who may muddy the results a little bit. We should always be careful. This is a tricky election. Set elections are local turnout, maybe in the range ever 20, 25 percent. Those are tricky elections to actually poll objection to the form what i would say is the followng. When were looking at the night as it unfolds, jones as a chance if africanamerican turnout is high and hes doing well in the suburban areas of the large cit ies like b more about the white house response to bringing in roy moore. We know that theyve given him the ringing endorsement simply because they dont want Democrat Doug Jones twhr. Are you hearing that if indeed roy moore wins we know we heard from some capital hill republicans who say they immediately want to get him into this ethics investigation, possibly expel him. What was the white house saying about this. The white house hasnt gotten into this, but this is clearly another example where donald trump and the quote, unquote republican establishment are on different sides of this. People like Mitchell Mcconnell have been very, very skeptical of roy moore. Weve not seen any of that skepticism from the white house. We know that alabama loves President Trump. When people go to the polls how much of this is going and voting for roy moore or voting for the trump ageneral danchts thats great question and really b this election is about fitness for the office and trieblism or partsism on the other other. To keep the seat in the senate. They dont believe the news coming in about him. On the flip side independent, favor waiverring moderate republicans and obviously democrats are look ing at this in term of fit. They believe that jones is more fit than mower specifically and well see which side wins out. Let me ask you, i know a lot of times weve seen this back at the president ial election, leading up in the actual election are you going to vote for a certain canned date and maybe they arent necessarily telling the truth. Do you that i could be a factor here . Theres some of that. On the margins we may have people being embarrassed on who they are going to show up on election day . Thats really tricky in this specific case because it says a low turn out election and we dont know whats going to happen with differential turnout. Are there a certain sort of republicans that dont have a good choice and they want to stay home . That will really define the ultimate outcome. This is the sort of thing where polling has challenges. Glad to have you guys in tonight to talk about this. Im sure there will be more to talk about in the day s and weeks to come. Lets get a thing for things on the ground. Lauren blanchard is in alabama. Arriving on horseback to vote tuesday, roy mere alabamas Embattled Us Senate candidate. Insisting the time has now passed for questions about Sexual Misconduct allegations against him involving teenage girls. Im not were telling you moore has denied the allegations but they have plagued alabamas special election race with more of chief justice now backed by President Trump squaring off against Democrat Doug Jones a former us attorney supported by former president obama. F we feel very good about what weve done. What weve accomplished. Up for gaps, Jeff Sessions vacant seat the polls show a race that could either way in this conservative state. After National Media attention alabama voters are casting their ballots.

Alabamas secretary of state estimates about 25 percent of alabama will have turned out on this election day. Jim, shawn. Let me ask you, we are hearing reports that there was a little trouble at the polls today, that some people are saying they were we go turned away because their state ids didnt match what was on the voting roles. What were you hearing about that. This state has very strict voter id rules. Just walking twitter, talking to folks, there has been a big push to make sure people had the right ids. The candidates made sure their wives had their ids. Not only if that was tongue in cheek on doug jones part, but there are a lot of republicans who say they have their ids. Theyre going to legally vote. A little bit back and forth there. Er now were just about less than an hour and a half until the polls close. A lieutenant of folks if they havent turned out, leaving work to head over, well doug jones and roy moore i knowledge roy mower was the only one that ed sho up on horseback, right.

Foorsed kissing, un wanted tusmg and groping airplane, in a corporate office, in a pageant dressing room. History has shown and demonstrated that this is an impeachable offense.

The Congress Women say tonight if the House Oversight committee can prove these allegations and President Trump has repeatedly denied them that in their view that would constitute an em peachable oh fefns lying. The president was not silent on this topic today and seemed to draw into focus new york senator kir steen guilt brand. In that tweet he said she was a \flunk\flung i of Democratic Leaders and then went onto what many believe was a brandt would have done anything to get a Campaign Contribution from him when he was a new york businessman. What exactly did he mean when he said by do anything . The Us Press Secretary struck down any suggestion in her view that there was a sexual motive to that tweet. Hes not alleg ing anything. Hes talking about the way that our system functions as it is. That politicians repeatedly beg for money. Thats not something new and that comment frankly isnt something new. If you look back at past comments that this president has made hes used that same terminology many times in reference to men. I can tell you the reaction to this was a furry today. Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren accused the president of trying to her words slut shame the senator from new york. Senator gill brand said she would not reach out to the site over House Committee said they stim did not receive the letter. Were going to keep you up to date on the terror attack in new york city.

And then mr. Ferric grabbed him, shoved him outside, made him stand in the cold and somewhere along the line made some comment this isnt the nfl. I understand this is a hot topic right now and everything, but our country is built on values that allow you to surprise yourself as you see if it within reasonable limits obviously. But choosing to sit during the pledge of allegiance is about as benign a show of your personal values you could possibly ask for. Not raising a scene, not yelling, not protesting anything with a picket sign, just sitting down. So the constitution recognizes that right and i think that that is going to trump what the political topic dangerous deliveries user is.
