        Republican Roy Moore has briefly greeted an optimistic crowd at his election night party in Montgomery, Alabama. Moore shook hands with supporters after they chanted, "Judge Roy Moore." He then left to watch returns in another room. His campaign manager told the crowd that Moore would soon have the new title of senator. With about half the vote counted, the Alabama Senate race between Moore and Democrat Doug Jones is too close to call. Moore is looking for support in rural areas and party loyalty from Republicans to carry him to victory. Jones is attempting to become the first Alabama Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate in 25 years.
