Democrat Doug Jones has won the Alabama Senate special election, a victory that was a stunning upset in a deeply red state that voted overwhelmingly for President Trump. The president, who had backed Republican Roy Moore despite multiple accusations of sexual misconduct and assault, congratulated Jones on Twitter.

Jesse White, Illinois' longtime Secretary of State, was a student at Alabama State College (now Alabama State University) in Montgomery during the 1950s, and took part in the bus boycott combatting segregation on city buses.

The Fighting Illini shot 32.3 percent from the field, including just 7 of 24 from beyond the arc.
