Doug Jones and Jaime Harrison approx equal chances of winning

But Jaime Harrison is getting a LOT of donations
Doug Jones is a good decent man, and it’s just as important I think to keep him in the senate as it is to get Lindsay out.

528 has them both at about a 25% chance of beating the republican.

I just donated to Doug Jones campaign. I am hopeful that African American turnout will be higher than assumed for this year because of organizing impact of Kamala and the Divine Nine.

The man who stood against the klan in Alabama by prosecuting the racist KKK killers of the little girls in the Birmingham church deserves our support too. It takes bravery to do that. I’m sure he would enjoy a term in the senate with a democratic majority, as opposed to under the thumb of do-nothing obstructionist McConnell.

If 538 is giving Jaime Harrison the same chance of winning that Doug Jones has here in my home state of Alabama then he's already lost. Because unless Tuberville gets caught on film with an underage hooker this week there is zero chance for Jones unfortunately. I was under the impression Harrison was much closer in the polls than Jones is here.
