Democrat Doug Jones Wins Alabama Senate Seat
Democrat Doug Jones of Alabama scored an upset win in a deeply Republican state, capturing the U.S. Senate seat in a special election that will narrow the GOP's grip on the chamber and give Democrats momentum ahead of the 2018 midterm races.
The Associated Press declared Mr. Jones, a 63-year-old former federal prosecutor, the winner over Republican Roy Moore, whose campaign was dogged in the final month of the race by allegations of sexual misconduct. Mr. Moore denied any wrongdoing and declined calls from Republican party leaders to step aside in the race to replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Mr. Jones is the first Democrat that Alabamians have sent to the U.S. Senate in more than two decades.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
