Outraged a Democrat beat a pedophile, Alabama GOP votes to end special elections
Alabama Republicans are going to extraordinary lengths to ensure no Democrat ever goes to the Senate again.

The Republican Party is still smarting from its humiliating defeat in Alabama last December, when Democrat Doug Jones beat alleged pedophile Roy Moore to assume the Senate seat once held by avowed racist Jeff Sessions.
Donald Trump wholeheartedly endorsed Moore, briefly went silent after multiple allegations emerged that Moore was infamous in his Alabama town for preying on teenage girls, and then even more enthusiastically re-endorsed Moore.
Republicans in Alabama, on the other hand, never wavered in their support for the man accused of sexually molesting a 14-year-old girl when he was in his 30s. Gov. Kay Ivey unapologetically said they’d rather have a child molester in the Senate than a Democrat.
So now, in a flagrant rebuke to the democratic process, the state’s Republican-controlled legislature has decided to try to ensure that no Democrat ever beats a Republican pedophile again.
