Roy Moore claims Mitch McConnell wooing Alabama Democrats to vote for Luther Strange

Without offering evidence, U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of leaning on Alabama Democrats to help push Sen. Luther Strange to victory in next month's GOP runoff.

McConnell controls the Republican Senate's campaign arm and has ties to a super PAC supporting Strange.

"Well that's exactly what their strategy is," Moore told the Daily Caller in an exclusive interview published Wednesday night. "That's what they're talking about. I wish the people of Alabama knew that. I wish the people of Alabama knew that McConnell and them were using the Democrats to come into the Republican primary."

This year, Alabama banned so-called crossover voting, which bars voters who cast ballots in the Democratic primary from voting in the Republican runoff, and vice versa. Voters who stayed home during last week's primary can vote in the Republican runoff on Sept. 26; there is no Democratic runoff because former federal prosecutor Doug Jones won a majority of votes.
