The Exit Polls were wrong again.

1. Ummmmm ... no.

It was largely a matter of rural counties reporting first; this is a very common phenomenon in every election cycle. AL's four largest cities had some of the last votes to be reported, and it was those cities that gave Jones the election. If you followed this thread, it was clear early on that Moore was underperforming, failing to win by as large margins he needed in rural counties. It was also clear that turnout, especially black turnout, which everyone knew would be crucial to Jones, was unusually high. In fact, that was announced early this morning. I would have been a bit surprised if Moore had won, once the precinct counts started piling up.
