Some prominent Republicans, including Alabama's Republican Sen. Richard Shelby, suggested it was better to write in somebody else than to vote for Moore, who was tainted by allegations he had romantically pursued and sexually assaulted girls in their teens when he was in his 30s.
Tuesday night, the Alabama secretary of state tallied 22,780 votes for write-in candidates, though many of those may ultimately be discarded because they were not cast far an actual registered candidate. Jones beat Moore by fewer than 21,000 votes. You do the math.
