Alabama voters are heading to the polls in a Senate election that could have wider implications for Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
Republican candidate Roy Moore, a former Alabama judge who is embroiled in allegations of child sex abuse, has been endorsed by the US president.<\/p>\n
Mr Trump’s support is at odds with much of the Republican establishment, who have distanced themselves from the 70-year-old Christian conservative.<\/p>\n
The race between Mr Moore and Democrat Doug Jones has been too close to call.<\/p>\n
Mr Moore denies claims by several women that he made unwelcome sexual advances, mostly when they were teenagers.<\/p>\n
