Alabama voters are heading to the polls in a Senate election that
could have wider implications for Donald Trump.Republican candidate Roy Moore, a former Alabama judge who is embroiled in allegations of child sex abuse, has been endorsed by the US president.
Mr Trump's support is at odds with much of the Republican establishment, who have distanced themselves from the 70-year-old Christian conservative.
The race between Mr Moore and Democrat Doug Jones has been too close to call.
Mr Moore denies claims by several women that he made unwelcome sexual advances, mostly when they were teenagers.
However, the scandal has put a Senate seat in Alabama within reach of Democrats for the first time in more than two decades.
