Democratic candidate Doug Jones defeated Republican candidate Roy Moore by a margin of 20,715 votes ( 1.5 % ). Jones is the first Democrat to win a U.S. Senate seat in the state since 1992. On February 9, 2017, Governor Robert J. Bentley named Luther Strange, the Attorney General of Alabama, to fill the vacancy until a special election could take place. Jones, a former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, won the Democratic primary election while Moore, a former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama won the Republican primary, defeating Strange in the primary runoff. In late November, retired Marine Colonel Lee Busby launched a write - in campaign. In mid-November, multiple women alleged that Moore had made unwanted advances or sexual assaults on them when he was in his early thirties and they were in their teens ( the youngest was 14 at the time ). As a result of these allegations, many national Republican leaders and office holders called for Moore to withdraw from the special election or withdrew their endorsements of him. However, Donald Trump and many Alabama Republicans reaffirmed their support. At the time of the revelations, it was too late to remove his name from the ballot. Many Republican leaders proposed shifting their support to a write - in candidate such as Strange. Moore has stated that he never engaged in sexual misconduct, although he has not denied that he approached or dated teenagers over the age of 16 while he was in his 30s. Sixteen is the legal age of consent in Alabama. At 9 : 23 p.m. CST, the Associated Press called the election for Jones, though Moore has refused to concede. Once the victory is certified, Jones will become the first Democratic candidate to win an open seat in a statewide election in Alabama since former Lieutenant Governor Lucy Baxley was elected President of the Alabama Public Service Commission in 2008.

Representative Mo Brooks had also expressed interest in the seat, while Strange had stated before being selected that he would run for the seat in the special election whether or not he was appointed. Other potential choices Bentley interviewed for the appointment included Moore, Del Marsh, the President Pro Tem of the Alabama Senate, and Jim Byard, the director of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs. Republican primary Campaign The Republican primary attracted national attention, especially following Trump 's endorsement of incumbent Senator Luther Strange. Strange was backed by several key figures within the Republican establishment, most notably Mitch McConnell. His two main rivals in the primary consisted of former state judge Roy Moore and Mo Brooks. While Strange showed no signs of losing the first round of the primary, almost every opinion poll showed him trailing Roy Moore in a runoff. Strange came in second place in the first round of the primary behind Roy Moore, securing a spot in the runoff. National interest in the race dramatically increased in the month before the runoff. Strange maintained his endorsement from Trump, who campaigned for him in Huntsville during the closing days of the campaign. Trump 's endorsement of Strange sparked criticism among his own base, many of whom preferred Moore and detested Strange for his seemingly establishment feel. Several notable people close to Trump broke from the President to endorse Moore, including HUD Secretary Ben Carson and Breitbart Executive Chairman Steve Bannon. Despite the endorsement of Trump, Strange was handily defeated by Roy Moore in the runoff.

One of the women was 14 years old at the time, below the legal age of consent. A few days later a fifth woman said that she had received unwanted attention from Moore when she was 15 years old, and that in December 1977 or January 1978, when she was 16, Moore sexually assaulted her. Moore denied the allegations. After this, certain Republican leaders and conservative organizations withdrew their endorsements of Moore or asked him to drop out of the campaign. These included Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, Ivanka Trump, National Republican Senatorial Committee, former Republican presidential nominees Mitt Romney and John McCain, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Ohio Governor John Kasich, Utah Senator Mike Lee, Montana Senator Steve Daines, and House Representatives Barbara Comstock, Carlos Curbelo, and Adam Kinzinger. Other conservative websites and organizations such as National Review urged readers not to vote for Moore. A week before the election President Donald Trump strongly endorsed Moore. Following Trump 's endorsement, the RNC reinstated their support for him, and Republican leaders said they would `` let the people of Alabama decide '' whether to elect Moore. At the time of the revelations, it was too close to the election for Moore 's name to be removed from the ballot. Republican officials proposed various ways to promote an alternate Republican candidate. One suggestion was to ask Governor Kay Ivey to delay the special election until 2018, but Ivey said she had no plans to change the election date. Some Republicans such as Senator Lisa Murkowski floated the prospect of a write - in campaign to elect Luther Strange, with Utah Senator Orrin Hatch actively endorsing a write - in campaign for Strange. However, Strange said it was `` highly unlikely '' that he would run a write - in campaign. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell proposed Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who formerly held the Senate seat, as a write - in candidate. In late November, Retired Marine Col. Lee Busby launched a write - in campaign stating that he thought there is room for a centrist in the race. Debates Republican nominee Roy Moore refused to debate Democratic nominee Doug Jones. Moore turned down debate invitations extended by the League of Women Voters, WHNT - TV and AL.com. Jones ' campaign said that Jones was `` willing to debate Roy Moore anytime, anywhere '' and accused Moore of `` hiding from the voters, from the media and from his record for weeks. '' Moore and his campaign stated that he refused to debate Jones because their policy positions were already clear to voters and thus there was no need for a formal debate.

SPAN Roy Moore election night remarks, December 12, 2017, C - SPAN Jones on stage following his victory Write - in votes by county. < 1 % > 1 % > 2 % > 3 % Doug Jones defeated Roy Moore by a margin of 20,715 votes. Voter turnout was 40.46 % of Alabama 's 3,326,812 registered voters. Jones won primarily by running up huge margins in the state 's major cities. The state 's four largest counties -- Jefferson ( home to Birmingham ), Mobile ( home to Mobile ), Montgomery ( home to the state capital of Montgomery ) and Madison ( home to Huntsville ) -- all gave Jones 56 percent or more of the vote. Jones also dominated the Black Belt. He took over 96 percent of the black vote, and 61 percent of votes from those under 45. While Moore dominated the state 's rural areas, he significantly underperformed Trump 's totals in those areas, as well as the suburbs. However, as of December 15, Moore has demanded a recount and refuses to concede the race, despite being urged by Trump, Bannon and others to do so. If the final margin of victory is less than 0.5 %, then a recount will be automatically triggered. If not, then either candidate can request a recount at his expense. However, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill estimates that a recount could cost anywhere from $1 million to $1.5 million, an amount that must be paid in full when the request is made. Moore had only $636,046 on hand by the time the campaign ended. A number of right - leaning websites have pushed conspiracy theories about voter fraud providing the margin for Jones. It is expected that Luther Strange will continue to hold the seat until January 3, 2018. All of Alabama 's 67 counties have to certify their election results to the Alabama Secretary of State. They have until December 22, 2017 to do so, though they are permitted to do so earlier. Once they have all done so, the certified results are transmitted to the secretary of the U.S. Senate by the Governor and Secretary of State of Alabama. However, by the time this occurs the U.S. Senate will likely have gone into recess until January 3, thus Jones will likely be taking up the seat at that time. Merrill told The Washington Post that the election results will be certified on December 28, 2017. Assuming that the margin holds after the results are certified, Jones will become the first Democrat to win a statewide race in Alabama since former Lieutenant Governor Lucy Baxley was elected President of the Alabama Public Service Commission in 2008 over Republican Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh. Prior to that, Democrat Jim Folsom Jr. was elected Lieutenant Governor of Alabama in 2006 over Republican Luther Strange.
