November 8, 2016

On the day of the election, Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL2) maintains that she will not vote for Republican Presidential nominee Donald J. Trump and will instead write-in his running mate Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN).

Roby initially un-edorsed Trump on Oct. 8, after a tape was leaked that contained Trump making vulgar comments about women. The congresswoman’s office confirmed her intention to continue her opposition to Trump today.

Donald Trump's behavior makes him unacceptable as a candidate for president, and I won't vote for him.
