Alabama Young Republicans withdraw endorsement of Roy Moore

Jackie Curtiss should be a lock to support a Republican Senate nominee in her home state of Alabama.

The 27-year-old is chair of the Young Republican Federation of Alabama and a member of the state party's steering committee.

But recent allegations of sexual misconduct against GOP nominee Roy Moore have set Curtiss and many of her fellow young conservatives against the state party, which is standing by Moore. On a Saturday conference call, the Young Republican Federation, which represents members across the state ages 18 to 40, voted to suspend support for Moore unless — and until — he can discredit allegations that he had improper relationships with teenage girls and young women decades ago.

"Obviously, I would never vote for Doug Jones," the Democratic candidate in the race, Curtiss said in a telephone interview with NBC News. "At this point, I would probably not even go to vote on Dec. 12."
