Roy Moore, the arch-conservative Republican running for a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama, doesn’t believe in evolution. And it looks like he doesn’t believe in spellcheck, either.
Moore’s tour bus art included a typo right in the middle of the URL for his campaign website and the botched address now redirects to a rival candidate’s website:
Moore, a former judge who believes being gay should be illegal, has a website based on the phrase “Alabama Deserves Moore.” But on his bus, the “deserves” was misspelled as “derserves.”
The result? Instead of alabamadeservesmoore.com, his bus became a giant rolling ad for “alabamaderservesmoore.com.” That URL was quickly snapped up by apparent supporters of the Democratic candidate for the seat, Doug Jones, and now redirects to the Jones campaign website.
Moore will face Sen. Luther Strange in a primary next week. Strange was named to the seat earlier this year to replace Jeff Sessions when he became attorney general. The winner of the primary will square off against Jones.
Alabama has not elected a Democrat for Senate in more than 20 years.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this story stated that the URL was purchased by the Doug Jones campaign. It’s not clear who purchased the domain.

The first electric vehicle I ever drove was a Tesla Roadster in 2011. It was with great anticipation that I slid behind the wheel of the 2025 Acura ZDX Type S. Sure, it's a midsize SUV, but it wears the Type S moniker, a name reserved only for the most fun-to-drive in the Acura stable. On launch, the ZDX will be available in A-Spec and Type S trims -- both of which come equipped with a 102 kWh battery.
