Democrat Doug Jones delivered a stunning upset defeat to Republican Roy Moore in a U.S. Senate race in deep-red Alabama that had split the GOP even before its controversial nominee was accused of inappropriate conduct with teenage girls.
Jones won with 49.9 percent of the vote to Moore’s 48.4 percent, with all precincts reporting, the Associated Press said. Moore, however, didn’t immediately concede and his campaign manager, Bill Armistead, said the results were too close to "make a final decision on the outcome."
