The "Nashville" actress was a vocal supporter of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton last year and held close connections to the Obama administration.

While filming the country music show in Tennessee, Britton has also spoken out against proposed anti-LGBT legislation considered in the state legislature.

Jones, a former U.S. attorney for Alabama, is battling Moore ahead of the special election on Tuesday. Moore, who has faced accusations of sexual misconduct from multiple women, currently holds a slight lead in the race, according to polls.

2. That's encouraging.

I think it will be very close and even if Moore takes it I don't see him lasting longer than a year before he gets the Franken treatment from his own party. It all depends on how 2018 goes down and if it looks like he's toxic he'll go out with yesterday's coffee grounds.
