Moore's supporters this week sent a resolution to the state's Republican Party executive committee calling for the longtime senator to censured, according to Politico.
The supporters said that Shelby “publicly encouraged Republicans and all voters to write in a candidate instead of voting for the Republican Candidate Judge Roy Moore."
