It doesn't matter if it can be proven she wrote those parts five seconds after he signed the book, this will be "proof" all of his accusers are lying.
I fear Moore just won...

Moore accuser admits she wrote part of infamous note
Source: AOL
Beverly Nelson admitted on Friday that she wrote part of the high school yearbook inscription used as proof in her accusations against Roy Moore.
Beverly Young Nelson, the ex-waitress who alleged the Alabama politician groped her when she was just 16 years old, told ABC News on Friday that she added both the date and place to the then-30-something Moore's inscription.
Her notes read "12-22-77" and "Olde Hickory House," which was the restaurant Nelson reportedly worked at and where she said the GOP Senate candidate once frequented. Nelson and her famed attorney, Gloria Allred, later presented the note as evidence in court that Moore sought an inappropriate relationship with her in the 1970s.
However, Nelson has also insisted that Moore still wrote the majority of the message and signed it.

Tension between Minnesota, D.C. on how to fill Franken's seat, sources say
Tension between Minnesota, D.C. on how to fill Franken's seat, sources say
As DFL Gov. Mark Dayton considers one of the most important political appointments of his career, hes now hearing from a growing number of Democrats from Minnesota to Washington about how to fill the seat of outgoing Sen. Al Franken, according to sources in Minnesota and Washington.
The governor is now wrestling with whether to select a placeholder appointee who will not run for the seat or give a Democrat a years head start raising money and campaigning for the office permanently.
On Wednesday night, high-ranking Minnesota Democratic sources said the governor was likely to appoint Lt. Gov. Tina Smith, someone who would not run for the seat permanently. That would give both parties equal time to mount campaigns for the historic election next November in which both Senate seats would be on the line.
