 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The Latest on Alabama's U.S. Senate election (all times local): 
 
 9:24 p.m. CST 
 
 Democrat Doug Jones has won election to the U.S. Senate from Alabama, dealing a political blow to President Donald Trump. 
 
 Jones has defeated Republican Roy Moore, a one-time GOP pariah who was embraced by the Republican Party and the president even after facing allegations of sexual impropriety. 
 
 An attorney and former prosecutor, Jones rallied voters on a message of moving past the Moore controversies. He was buoyed by an influx of national Democratic cash and endorsements. 
 
 Jones' victory is set to narrow the slim Republican majority over Democrats in the Senate to 51-49. His win in the Republican stronghold energizes the Democratic Party as it looks to build on anti-Trump sentiment to mount a challenge next year to Republican control of Congress.

 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.

 Republican Roy Moore's supporters are expressing optimism as polls close in Alabama. 
 
 Supporters filed into Moore's election night party in Montgomery shortly before polls closed at 7 p.m. 
 
 "Watch party? It's a victory party," Moore campaign manager Rich Hobson told the crowd. 
 
 Becky Gerritson, the leader of a nearby tea party group, says sexual misconduct allegations against Moore have caused his supporters to rally around him harder. 
 
 "We're seeing his supporters digging in and they're pumped up," Gerritson said. 
 
 Reporters at Moore's election night party were kept behind a barricade in the back of the ballroom.

 Polls are closed in Alabama in the race to fill the Senate seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. 
 
 At time of national reckoning over long-suppressed misconduct by powerful men, the choice between Republican Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones has taken on outsized significance. Moore has faced allegations of sexual misconduct with teenagers, dividing the GOP and giving Democrats hope of picking up a seat in a reliably red state. 
 
 President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee broke with top congressional leaders in standing by Moore despite the accusations, wagering that maintaining the seat in the Republican stronghold was of paramount importance. 
 
 Democrats are hoping to break their 0-5 streak in special elections for Republican-held seats in 2017, and looking for momentum heading into the 2018 midterm elections.

 Earlier Tuesday, a Department of Homeland Security official said the agency is keeping an eye on the election.

 The Department of Homeland Security is keeping its eye on Alabama's special U.S. Senate election. 
 
 The agency's top infrastructure and cybersecurity official says a federal protective security adviser and a cybersecurity adviser are in the capital city of Montgomery and working "side by side" with state government officials in case issues arise. 
 
 Christopher Krebs says he's not aware of any specific threats. But he says DHS has been working with the state "for quite some time" to prepare for any issues. 
 
 It's part of a larger effort to better share threat information and provide technical support after DHS concluded Russian government hackers targeted election systems in 21 states last year. 
 
 Krebs says: "We learned our lessons last year."

 Voter turnout appears heavier than expected in one of Alabama's most reliably Republican counties in the U.S. Senate election, and officials say they're not just seeing the usual GOP crowd. 
 
 Shelby County Probate Judge Jim Fuhrmeister says turnout appears higher than normal among young people and black voters in Tuesday's balloting. That could help Democrat Doug Jones against Republican Roy Moore. 
 
 Democrats have a table outside one of the county's largest voting precincts in Helena, and volunteers from the Jones campaign are canvassing neighborhoods in normally Republican areas. 
 
 Fuhrmeister says he isn't predicting a Democratic win, but he expects the party to see some results for its efforts. 
 
 Shelby County, just south of Birmingham, is one of Alabama's most affluent counties.

 Jones says he feels good about the campaign he's run and he doesn't think Republican Roy Moore is going to win.

 Political observers believe that Jones needs heavy turnout among African-American voters in order to win on Tuesday. 
 
 The Legion Field precinct is in a stadium office, where blue-tinted posters of local college football players and cheerleaders lined one of the walls. About 20 Doug Jones campaign signs were planted in the ground near the parking lot where voters were driving in to vote. There were no Roy Moore signs.

 An internationally watched Senate election is down to Alabama voters. 
 
 The controversies surrounding Republican Roy Moore give Democrat Doug Jones an opening in the GOP-dominated state. Polls open Tuesday morning.

 Jones is saying decency must prevail. He's urging Alabama voters to see the race as a crossroads with an opportunity to avoid repeating past mistakes that harm the state's image. 
 
 No Democrat has won an Alabama Senate seat since 1992. That was Sen. Richard Shelby. He's now a Republican who says he didn't vote for Moore.
– It's Doug Jones. The Democrat won election to the Senate from Alabama on Tuesday, dealing a political blow to President Trump, reports the AP. Jones narrowly defeated Republican Roy Moore, a one-time GOP pariah who was embraced by the Republican Party and the president even after facing allegations of sexual impropriety. An attorney and former prosecutor, Jones rallied voters on a message of moving past the Moore controversies. He was buoyed by an influx of national Democratic cash and endorsements. Jones' victory is set to narrow the slim Republican majority over Democrats in the Senate to 51-49. His win in the Republican stronghold energizes the Democratic Party as it looks to build on anti-Trump sentiment to mount a challenge next year to Republican control of Congress. With 92% of votes counted, Jones had 49.5% of the vote to Moore's 48.8%, per CNN, which also called the race for Jones.
