Former U.Southward. attorney Doug Jones (D) defeated former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore (R) in the full general election on December 12, 2017. [44] Jones topped Moore by ane.seven points, 50 percent to 48.three percent.[45] It was the only congressional special election in 2017 to result in a flipped seat.
Moore did non concede the race and said he considered requesting a recount.[46]
Why was in that location no recount?
Under Alabama police, a recount is automatically ordered when a candidate wins by no more than 0.five pct of all votes cast for the function. Jones led Moore by 1.5 percentage when the count was unofficial.
A recount could also be requested past the losing candidate in some races, but he must pay for the costs.[47] Alabama Secretarial assistant of State John Merrill estimated that the process would cost $1 to $one.5 million.[48] The relevant country statutes too suggested that candidates for the U.S. Congress cannot petition for recounts.[49]
Was there a delay in the certification of results because of voter fraud claims?
No. On December 27, 2017, Moore filed a complaint alleging potential voter fraud. His complaint stated the college voter turnout in Jefferson County was dissonant and that out-of-state voters had participated in the election. Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill (R) said the following morning that Moore'due south complaint would non bear on Jones' certification, which proceeded that afternoon.[50] [51]
When was Jones sworn in?
The state certified the election results on December 28, 2017. Jones was sworn in on January 3, 2018, when the U.Southward. Senate returned from winter recess.[52] [53]
What happened in the final weeks of the race?
In December 2017, Moore regained some back up in public opinion polls—leading or tying Jones in six of the nine polls released that month—and from his ain party, in the aftermath of sexual misconduct and assault allegations against him. President Donald Trump (R) endorsed Moore on Dec 4, 2017, and the Republican National Commission reinstated its fundraising understanding with him on the same day.[54] McConnell maintained, however, that Moore would face an ideals inquiry if he were seated in the Senate.[55] For more on the responses to the allegations, delight see the timeline of reactions to the allegations.
By the end of November, Jones had outspent Moore on advert in the general election. According to Advertising Analytics, Jones had aired more than 10,000 television spots and spent $5.6 1000000. Moore aired one-tenth that number of ads and spent about $800,000 on them.[56]
Jones besides outraised Moore in individual contributions, $11.5 million to $five.2 1000000.[57] This was significantly more than any other Democratic Senate candidate in Alabama in the previous ten years—the previous loftier in this time menses was Vivian Davis Figures in 2008 with $293,000.[58]
Jones became the beginning Democrat to win a Senate seat in Alabama since Richard Shelby in 1992. Shelby afterwards switched his party affiliation to Republican in 1994.
