AL.com called Moore arriving to his polling station on horseback a “family tradition.” Moore’s wife Kayla, also rode in on horseback.
“I think it’s a good thing to do, I won the last time I rode a horse, I think maybe have good favor,” Moore told CNN during his Republican primary runoff against Sen. Luther Strange.
Moore is facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including an accusation made by a woman who says Moore initiated a sexual encounter when she was 14 and he was 32. Moore has repeatedly denied all of the allegations made against him.
President Donald Trump endorsed Moore last week, and again on election day in a tweet.
The people of Alabama will do the right thing. Doug Jones is Pro-Abortion, weak on Crime, Military and Illegal Immigration, Bad for Gun Owners and Veterans and against the WALL. Jones is a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet. Roy Moore will always vote with us. VOTE ROY MOORE!
