Here's what Vance said in 2012:
As one of Alabama's many judges across this state, I want to work with him, and he will have my wholehearted support in that endeavor, so I look forward the opportunity to working with him and to working with all those who are part of the judicial system to ensure that Alabama's courts remain for the people of this state.I'm left wondering what might have happened had such a gentleman won back then. There wouldn't have been a huge 10 Commandments in the courthouse (!) and maybe Strange would have been the candidate this time.
As per previous, I have great confidence in the people of Alabama who are far cannier than some like to think. I wonder what happens to Moore now.
Meanwhile Mitch can pat himself on the back that write in votes exceed the difference between the candidates!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
