Who said that the allegations made them "More likely" to vote for Moore. There's phrase in Alabama for those folks:

"Bless their hearts!"

For those who did not grow up in the South:

voter suppression, miscounts, uncounted ballots and all sorts of shenanigans before this is over.

I won't hold my breath. We need to kick and scream, publicize and sue if they cheat. When they cheat, I mean.

But now that the polls show a close race, the repug governor is talking about delaying the election allowing for the party to come up with a new candidate who wouldn't have to be a write-in if Moore agrees to drop out.

Our side needs to be energized for high turnout while some perverts on the other side would like to normalize sex with children to make America great again.
