Donald Trump won Alabama by a large margin last night, be he was far from the only candidate or issue on the ballot. Each of Alabama’s seven congressional districts were in play, as was on of its U.S. Senate seats. Statewide, Alabamians considered fourteen different proposed amendments to the constitution, only some of which applied to the people of more than one particular county.
Each of the incumbent members of Alabama’s congressional delegation won reelection and won it soundly. The only election that was even remotely close was Rep. Martha Roby’s (R-AL2) race, which she won by a convincing ten point margin.
Here are the results:
U.S. Senate
Richard Shelby (R) 64%, Ron Crumpton (D) 36%
AL1
Rep. Bradley Byrne (R) was uncontested
AL2
Rep. Martha Roby (R) 55%, Nathan Mathis (D) 45%
AL3
Rep. Mike Rogers (R) 67%, Jesse Smith (D) 33%
AL4

AL5
Rep. Mo Brooks (R) 67%, Will Boyd (D) 33%
