For those who are curious, here's blue/red Ala. county results map.

( Taken earlier, too close to call time)

What this is showing you is the HUGE number blue votes in the Black Belt, that ribbon of blue from west to east below Montgomery.
Black voters came out in giant numbers, even more than for Obama, they are saying.
they white areas are the ones not yet counted at time of this graphic.

Much more broadly educated, thanks to the internet.
Net neutrality is VITAL and we must all find a way to work for it.

I am so glad to be here in Ala. and see this upfront and personal.

but a higher percentage than came out for the Repub in the red counties.

Kornacki was saying turnout was about 70-75% of the Obama cycle in the Black Belt. Typical red county turnout was more like 55-60%.
