(MENAFN) Alabama voters are pleaded by a prominent newspaper group to write in another Republican instead of casting their vote in favor of Roy Moore during the special Senate election set for Tuesday.
On AL.com, an editorial was released Sunday which read "voting for Roy Moore just because he has an 'R' next to his name, ignoring his record of personal and official misconduct, is neither wise nor careful."
The editorial board calls for Alabama voters to reflect on the course of Sen. Richard Shelby as well as his logic that pushed him to write in a Republican rather than voting for Moore.
The board wrote "for a state's senior senator to not support his party's nominee for the other seat is almost unheard of. Historians could find just one example: from 1990, when Louisiana's Republican nominee was David Duke, a former KKK leader." It went on "Alabamians should think hard about how effective Moore can be as junior senator, with such a fissure between him and Shelby, let alone other Republicans."
