Source: AL.com, by Leada Gore
MSNBC's morning political program "Morning Joe," will broadcast live from Alabama on election day.
Joe Scarborough will be joined by co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist at Char Bar No. 7 at Lane Parke in Mountain Brook on Dec. 12.
The program airs from 5 a.m.-8 a.m. CT and will include a live audience. The broadcast comes as Alabamians go to the polls to decide between Republican Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones. The special election has drawn international attention which grew after Moore, the former Alabama Chief Justice, was accused of having improper sexual contact with teenage girls in the 1970s.
Scarborough is no stranger to Alabama. The former Florida Congressman is a graduate of the University of Alabama and was later named to the Time 100 list of the world's most influential people.

They spew wrong or FAKE stories and they correct it 3 days later on their website? They accuse our DOJ of being political, talk that erodes the foundation of our Democracy. Is that what the gop wants? To destroy what is us? When you cheat, lie, gerrymander, steal and do anything include elect a teen age predator to win a seat at the table, what does that say about the soul of your party? Does it even have one."
"Elect moore and kiss childrens healthcare, our healthcare and our economy good bye. No party should have absolute power, LOOK at what happened in 2008 after Bush had that power for 6 years straight without a single veto. We headed back there. Leave a good economy alone."

DUers have bashed those two a good bit, but they have turned on Trump and folks like Moore, even if too late. I give them credit for that, even it a bit late.

The most prominent black leader in Alabama, Joe Reed, said white women will determine this election.
Joe and Mika will actually be at Ground Zero.
