Of course, if any individual is convicted of such a felony, it would make sense to keep them from holding any elected office.

I'm certainly aware that Gloria Aldred Inc has found some folks to make allegations, but as Franken and Conyers have demonstrated, allegations are not sufficient to bar or remove someone from elected office. It'll be up to the Alabama voters to decide if they believe those allegations are credible.
I suppose the Alabama voters have decided to believe the allegations.

Record-breaking black turnout...98% voted for Jones? I think Moore's dog whistles may have woke up the wrong dogs this time!
