Onetime U.South. attorney Doug Jones (D) defeated one-time Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore (R) in the general election on Dec 12, 2017. [44] Jones topped Moore by ane.7 points, 50 percent to 48.3 percent.[45] It was the just congressional special ballot in 2017 to event in a flipped seat.
Moore did not concede the race and said he considered requesting a recount.[46]
Why was there no recount?
Nether Alabama law, a recount is automatically ordered when a candidate wins by no more than 0.5 pct of all votes cast for the office. Jones led Moore by i.5 pct when the count was unofficial.
A recount could also be requested by the losing candidate in some races, just he must pay for the costs.[47] Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill estimated that the process would cost $1 to $1.five million.[48] The relevant state statutes also suggested that candidates for the U.S. Congress cannot petition for recounts.[49]
Was there a delay in the certification of results considering of voter fraud claims?
No. On December 27, 2017, Moore filed a complaint alleging potential voter fraud. His complaint stated the higher voter turnout in Jefferson Canton was anomalous and that out-of-land voters had participated in the ballot. Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill (R) said the following morning that Moore'south complaint would not affect Jones' certification, which proceeded that afternoon.[50] [51]
When was Jones sworn in?
The country certified the ballot results on December 28, 2017. Jones was sworn in on January 3, 2018, when the U.S. Senate returned from winter recess.[52] [53]
What happened in the final weeks of the race?
In Dec 2017, Moore regained some support in public stance polls—leading or tying Jones in six of the nine polls released that month—and from his own party, in the aftermath of sexual misconduct and assail allegations against him. President Donald Trump (R) endorsed Moore on December iv, 2017, and the Republican National Committee reinstated its fundraising understanding with him on the same solar day.[54] McConnell maintained, however, that Moore would face an ethics inquiry if he were seated in the Senate.[55] For more than on the responses to the allegations, please see the timeline of reactions to the allegations.
By the end of November, Jones had outspent Moore on ad in the full general election. According to Advert Analytics, Jones had aired more than x,000 television spots and spent $5.vi million. Moore aired one-tenth that number of ads and spent about $800,000 on them.[56]
Jones also outraised Moore in individual contributions, $11.5 1000000 to $5.2 million.[57] This was significantly more any other Autonomous Senate candidate in Alabama in the previous 10 years—the previous high in this fourth dimension catamenia was Vivian Davis Figures in 2008 with $293,000.[58]
Jones became the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in Alabama since Richard Shelby in 1992. Shelby later switched his party amalgamation to Republican in 1994.
