    I'm 99% sure you were thinking of FormerFundie. He had a pretty decent sized thread about that when it happened.

              We're having fun.

              Fox News is indicating that Jones will probably win, given the outstanding counties still to report.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                • Reports of Voter Suppression Tactics Pour In From Alabama Election
                  A quick-off-the-mark account of some of what people are seeing on the ground in terms of people being denied a vote. Obviously it will take some time to determine whether these are isolated and (in the grand scheme of things) irrelevant instances, or whether these are happening on a large enough of a scale to affect the final outcome (which at this stage is looking tight).

                    FiveThirtyEight is also leaning that way slightly, in between saying it's a 'nail biter'. They think it's stronger Dem areas still to come and estimate Jones will win those areas by 14 points.

                    • Larger counties are probably more likely to be blue so would that account for them reporting later (more votes to count)?

                          No, they're automated. They are probably taking longer to be sure of their count before reporting.
