Alabama Special Election Takes Place in One of the Reddest States

… According to Gallup data from the first half of 2017, only a handful of states have a greater Republican edge than Alabama — consistent with what Gallup found in 2016.

Half of the state’s residents (50%) identify as Republicans or lean toward the Republican Party, while a third identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party (33%). Additionally, Republicans typically have a much higher turnout in non-presidential elections than do Democrats — an advantage Moore could enjoy tomorrow. CONT.
