The Latest: Alabama Senate candidate Jones seeks black votes
SELMA, Ala. (AP) — The Latest on a U.S. Senate Race in Alabama (all times local):___2:30 p.m.
Alabama Democrat Doug Jones is continuing his outreach to black voters in his U.S. Senate race against Republican Roy Moore.
Jones on Saturday marched in the Christmas parade in Selma, where events in 1965 helped spur the U.S. Voting Rights Act that secured voting rights for African-Americans.
The outreach is important because the state's Democratic base is composed mainly of black voters, who account for 23 percent of the state's registered voters. Jones also needs to peel away moderate GOP support from the deeply conservative Moore.
