The write-in vote was more than the margin of victory, and you know damn well that Democratic voters were a tiny, almost insignificant amount of that.

Shelby gave "permission" for Alabama GOP voters to do something other than hold their noses and vote for the turd, Moore.

Those would have been Moore votes without his encouragement.

Well, he did use to be a Democrat, after all...
