Alabama voters elected first-time candidate and former football coach Tommy Tuberville as their next U.S. senator today, a choice that reaffirms Republican dominance in the state and could affect the larger struggle for power in America’s capitol.

The Associated Press called the race for Tuberville at 9:10 p.m.

With 55% of precincts reporting, and 43% of the expected vote in, Tuberville had 655,179 votes, or 62%, to 402,386 for Jones, or 38%.

Alabama Republicans were eager to take back the seat Sen. Doug Jones captured three years ago when he became the first Democrat to win a Senate race in the state since 1992.

5. Well 1.4 million of them are shit for brains morons.

Me and 861+ thousand others didn't want this shit. But I still have some optimism that this mediocre football coach is going to do some further shady financial dealings that will eventually land him in prison.
