DOUG JONES IS THE NEW SENATOR FOR ALABAMA—HAPPY HANUKKAH & THANK YOU ALABAMA
Maybe the next six days will be filled with impeachment!
Slowly, my faith is being restored in our great country. Slowly. Well done. #ThankYouAlabama 🇺🇸 https://t.co/bomJGfAkOz

Well, ladies and gentlemen history has been made! Not since 1992 has a Democrat won a Senate seat in Alabama, but tonight Doug Jones beat that miserable, hateful, underqualified asshole, Roy Moore.
What made the difference? Besides Roy Moore being the worst? Black. Voter. Turnout.

Black women make up an est. 13.9 percent of Alabama’s population but in this exit poll, are approx. 18 percent of voters.
That’s 29.5% more than their proportion of the population.
Once again, black women voters are delivering for Democrats.#AlabamaSenateElection

I’m so proud of Black voters in Alabama right now.

Despite Moore having an early lead with rural voters once people began to pour in from Mobile, Montgomery, and Birmingham that is when Jones began to surge up to victory.

On September 15, 1963, Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Carol Denise McNair were brutally assassinated. Today, the man got their families justice was elected to the United States Senate. #ThankYouAlabama #AlabamaSenateElection

If this is what happened on just the first day of Hanukkah I’m excited to see what the rest of the week is going to bring!
