Alabama voters chose their next U.S. senator

Alabama voters have until 7pm central / 8pm eastern (0100GMT) to cast their ballots in the special election to fill the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by Jeff Sessions, now the U.S. Attorney General.

Republican Roy Moore is locked in a tight race with Democrat Doug Jones, with many questioning principles over party affiliation after several women reporter, Roy Moore behaved inappropriately toward them when he was a 30-something single and they were in their teens.

Roy Moore continues to dodge those questions, saying voters should vote their conscience.

IN: "Judge, did...
OUT: ..their conscience"
DUR: 19


Doug Jones emphasized his rival's record - Roy Moore has been disbarred twice as a state judge.

IN: "Judge Moore...
OUT: ...happen again."
DUR: 21
