Alabama Senate Race: Voter Happily Chooses Nick Saban In Special Election

Nick Saban’s political career is off and running, albeit unknowingly.

The University of Alabama football coach has received at least one write-in vote in the hotly contested race to represent Alabama in the U.S. Senate. Voter Greg Dobbins told MSNBC on Tuesday he believes Saban is a better choice than Republican candidate Roy Moore, Democratic candidate Doug Jones and other contenders.

“I’m a lifelong Republican, and this is the first time in my entire life that I haven’t voted for the Republican candidate.” Dobbins said. “I have wrote in Nick Saban instead”

In the lead-up to the election, liberal super PAC American Bridge 21st Century urged Alabama’s Republican voters to write-in their votes for Saban, instead of Moore, an accused pedophile, or Jones.

Dobbins didn’t indicate whether he heeded American Bridge’s advice or just loves Alabama football that much.
