Senator Richard Shelby said Sunday that while he wants a Republican elected to the Senate, he did not vote for Republican candidate Roy Moore in the Alabama election.

CNN reports, “The Alabama Republican said he’s already cast his ballot, and that he chose a write-in candidate. ‘I’d rather see the Republican win, but I’d rather see a Republican write-in. I couldn’t vote for Roy Moore. I didn’t vote for Roy Moore,’ Shelby told CNN’s Jake Tapper on ‘State of the Union.’”

Moore has been accused of sexually assaulting numerous women, some of who were teenagers at the time. He has denied all allegations.

NPR reports this morning that Moore may have a slight edge in the final polls before Election Day, which may be due to President Trump’s full-on endorsement.
