We perform updated and detailed calculations of the complete NLO set of electroweak radiative corrections to parity violating e e → e e (γ) scattering asymmetries at energies relevant for the ultra-precise Moller experiment coming soon at JLab. Our numerical results are presented for a range of experimental cuts and relative importance of various contributions is analyzed. In addition, we also provide very compact expressions analytically free from non-physical parameters and show them to be valid for fast yet accurate estimations.
