WASHINGTON Although Alabama law prohibits a nominee from withdrawing his or her name from an election ballot 76 days before voters go to the polls, write-in candidates have no deadlines.
A woman told the Washington Post in an article published Thursday that Republican U.S. Senate nominee Roy Moore initiated a sexual encounter with her when she was 14 years old and he was 32. Senate Republicans have called for Moore to leave the race if the claims are true. Moore and his campaign vociferously denied the accusations, calling the charges fake news.

Mitch McGoo is probably writing campaign checks to every write-in candidate already.
That would pretty much end up costing a senate seat.
Will they know who I mean if I write in Egg McMuffin? After all, they accepted misspellings of Lisa Murkowski. If he can pull himself away from tweeting hate at Hannity tonight, Evan and his mutant potatoface will be establishing residence by 6am.
Gross orchestration? Hardly. It is classic Republican scattered reactions to any scandal as they are scared of their own shadow.
If the Republicans wanted to “orchestrate” something to bring down Moore they would have done it during the primaries so Luther Strange would have gotten in.
No. This is the dems. It’s an aggressive ploy and we will see how Moore deals with it. We will also see if the Doug Jones commercials change to pile on top of this. Jones is running non-stop commercials. Moore doesn’t run any.
Its just so damn transparent. The GOPe, McConnell in particular, tells us Bannons candidates can win primaries but cant win the general. Abra ca dabra, its disclosed that 39 years ago Moore hit on a 14 year old. Out of thin air, like a great magician the WaPo pulls a rabbit out of the hat.
The GOPe will gladly lose a senate seat and use it as the excuse to tank Trumps agenda, something they were doing anyway. Then, they will turn to us and say, see, we told you that you have to support our candidates. As if we wont know that they sabotaged Roy Moore?!?!
And on another note, FoxNews has found its new Meghan Kelly clone in the form of Shannon Bream. She was on tonight treating this story with not even one shred of skepticism. Chris Stirewalt, Megan Kellys old smirking RINO pet has been adopted from the GOPe shelter. He was on with his usual Republicans are doomed and Roy Moore is guilty schtick. Lord help me I want to punch that guy in his always wrong face.
“All correct. And Id bet my house if Luther Strange was being accused of this McConnell would be pouring millions into Alabama to support him.”
I would not be surprised one bit that McConnell is behind this last minute character assassination.
I hope the people of Alabama are smart enough to stick with Moore.
We stood by Trump when specious allegations were lodged against him, he had better do the same for Judge Moore.
Maybe not but they are demanding he step aside, threatening a write in opponent if he don't.
If the Senate Republicans keep Mitch in power the Republic is in danger.
Moore is being broadsided by the corruptoids but as much as they fear him I doubt anyone can do much cleaning up even if elected
What a crock of poo! I call BS on this ancient supposed claim.
Spineless RINO’s can go pound sand. They are a despicable lot!
How the heck do we do that? Guess it would be mean to pray that Songbird kick the bucket...
This was the Establishment’s plan all along.
That made me laugh, thanks! I kinda have the same wish
“This was the Establishments plan all along.”
Yes, for sure. It appears that politicians are the scum of the Earth, on their best days. These are among the darkest days that the USA has ever faced. We are, in my opinion, in a much, much more dangerous situation than WWII. In WWII we were a united nation, with the will to protect ourselves. That is not the case now.
On some popular twitter feed there is a report that someone said someone said:
There was a Wapo person in Alabama town offering a women $1,000 to SAY they were, yes, by Judge Moore.
No sir. Time for truth. The defendant is wapo not the dims yet. Mitch will be deposedfor pattern. Ot will take days!! The Mc Daniel mississipi payoff of blacks to defeat him after he won the primary willbe a great focus. Also john cornyn os in this to his eye balls. Get pop corn ready.
Alabamians won’t fall for this commie-engineered fake news crap!
“Before I boosted any Ten Commandments monuments, Id boost a Cross.”
The Ten Commandments is coded law, which is what a court house represents.
The cross pertains to salvation.
The GOP establishment would rather lose the seat to a Democrat than see it won by an anti-establishment candidate, even if of their own party.
The Post is owned by Nash Holdings LLC, a holding company for billionaire Amazon founder and open borders champion Jeffrey Bezos.
The newspaper formally endorsed Moores Democratic opponent Doug Jones in the Senate race.
In a series of articles, Breitbart News has documented Joness close associations with far-left groups financed by George Soros that push open borders and a host of radical causes.
