One of the major factors that contributed to the victory of Doug Jones was his opponents sexual assault accusations. In the recent political climate regarding sexual assault and the #metoo movement, people have been more aware about sexual abuse, which has caused an outpour of support for victims and shame for attackers.

I plan to answer this question using the primary sources of election results, published party platforms, voter turnout, and letters written by populists to newspapers in the time period.
