This week, over on the Election Central Web site, the main story is about the special runoff election between Roy Moore and Luther Strange.

When President Trump appointed Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions to be his attorney general, Sessions’ U.S. Senate seat suddenly became available. Robert Bentley, the Alabama governor at the time, appointed Luther Strange to temporarily fill the seat. Last week, however, in a runoff election, Strange was defeated by Judge Roy Moore. Here, Election Central takes a closer look at the candidates, why this election mattered, and what it could mean for Trump and the GOP.
