Im Nora Odonnell with gayle king and john dickerson. The people of alabama vote today in one of the most closely watched elections in u. S. History. Roy moore and doug jones held rallies last night to try and boost support and try to convince some undecided voters. This latest polling shows this race is very much in the air and well go right down to the wire. A fox news jones has a 10point lead. But an emerson poll has moore ahead by nine points. Turnout will likely determine the winner of this race. Moore held his last campaign rally, manuel, good morning. Reporter good morning. Both moore and jones stumped last night with a number of politicians and entertainers. It was a last minute push to Energize Voters in a contest that even this morning appears too close to call. And were not going to stand by and let other people from out of state and money from california control this election. On the eve of tuesdays election, roy moore painted himself as the victim of outside special interests and rejected multiple allegations of Sexual Misconduct. If you dont believe in my character, dont vote for me. Reporter moores wife defended her husband against allegations of sexism, racism and antisemitism which she blamed the media for spreading. I just want to set the record straight while theyre here. [ applause ] one of our attorneys is a jew. Reporter former white house chief strategist steve bannon says the race is a referendum on President Trump. This is a national election.

Its just time, folks, that we say no more. Reporter and former nba star and alabama native barkley says moores politics are holding the state back. We are not just a bunch of damn idiots.

He told the crowd that during their tour there they were unknowingly taken to a brothel with very young girls. He says moore immediately had them both leave. The polls here close tonight at 7 00. Thank you. I mean, you cant make it up sometimes, the comments that were made thats an unusual story to share at this time under these circumstances. Regardless of the point youre making. John, let me ask you because we have those two conflicting polls. What do you make of that . And theres been no early voting so today really matters. I think what you say about the polls is that if we had tea in one of these cups and we looked at the leaves w get a better sense of whats happening than looking at the polls. Polls in a special election are hard because you dont know what kind of electorate is going to turn out. And then you have the radio activity of this race and the fact that if youre polling on the phone to a republican they may not want to admit theyre a roy moore voter and so we really dont know and thank goodness its election day so we can get a result and stop having to guess. So and of course we must say it all comes down to turnout which is like saying water is wet. Yeah. And we will have the results here tomorrow morning. Yes, we will. Investigators are calling an attempted new york city bombing in a pedestrian tunnel an act of terrorism. A man set off a homemade bomb at the height of yesterdays morning rush hour. Sources confirmed the suspect claimed to be inspired by isis. The explosion hit around 7 20 a. M. Inside an underground walkway linking newk authoritys bus terminal to 11 subway lines near times square. The area is one of the worlds busiest transportation hubs. The suspect is 27yearold akayed ullah. He came to the u. S. From bangladesh on a family visa six years ago. Ullah was taken to the hospital with injuries from the blast. Five other people were slightly hurt. John miller is the nypds commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism. Hes also our former senior correspondent. John joins us at the table. Always good to have you here. Always good to be here. Welcome to new york, john. I know its very early in the investigation, but what can you tell us about this suspect . What have you learned so far and he motive . This is an individual who came from bangladesh, was livering here, went through a number of jobs, was not particularly struggling financially or under any known pressure who was not on our radar at the nypd, not o t fbi radar and hes somewhat character u. S. Ic of what weve been seeing across the world which is somebody who turns up one day out of the blue. This is the second terrorist attack in new york city in the last two months. How hard is it to stop a lone wolf like this . Well, its very difficult. And its getting harder. This is not the al qaeda model where a cell of people who are communicating with the base are an intelligence problem. This is a situation whether it was the chelsea bomber or the people who ran over the people with the truck or youve got people who are consumers of these propaganda and these plots unfold where theyre not working with anybody else or confiding in anybody else and thats something were still looking at here, where the conspiracy is within the confines of their own mind. And thats a very hard place to get to. When you combine that encrypted so if you bring it to the manufacturer with a court order, even theyve designed it so that they cant open it and that the applications where they communicate are encrypted so that with a court order you cant get into those communications. You find yourself increasingly behind the 8 ball as the terrorist organizations seize on this and increase the breadth and space of that propaganda whos meant to reach those people who are searching for people. What do we know about the bomb he made and does that tell us anything that can be made at home by a single lone wolf . Well, you know, in bomb making you want to either not make a big mistake or a lot of little ones and its not as easy as these instructions make it thing. But if you look at what he attempted to make that bomb out of and what he attempted to make it into, it didnt function with the force and power that the i think what we saw yesterday was something that could have been far, far worse. Yeah, and youre able to communicate with him now, so maybe youll get more information. True . Yes. He made statements yesterday after his arrest and and weve learned a lot. All right. Thank you.
