Alabama GOP chair warns party officials against write-in campaign

The chairwoman of the Republican Party of Alabama on Sunday cautioned against supporting a write-in candidate in next month’s Senate race as concerns in the party grow over allegations of sexual misconduct against Roy Moore.

“It would be a serious error for any current elected GOP official or candidate to publicly endorse another party’s candidate, an independent, a third party or a write in candidate in a general election as well,” Terry Lathan told the Alabama Political Reporter.

“I have heard of no GOP elected official or candidate that is even considering this option.”

There has been increasing talk of a write-in campaign since The Washington Post published last week a report containing allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior against Moore, the Republican nominee in the Senate race.

Write in Strange. You will get better representation! Orrin Hatch says so!


Do you think the Alabama Republicans are listening to me?


One can hope some will listen and split the Repugs' vote.

a write in campaign. This would clear him of being behind the movement that revived the Roy Moore rumors.
