"Steve Bannon and God spoke to me, and this morning when I went in I voted for Moore," said Bohannon, 74.
from an earlier version of this article

Here's some more:
"On the outskirts of Montgomery, 76-year-old Air Force retiree John Lauer said Trump's endorsement swayed him to vote for Strange on Tuesday.

"I voted for Strange. I'm a Trump voter. Either one is going to basically do the Trump agenda, but since Trump came out for Luther, I voted for Luther," said Lauer said.

Many at Moore's victory party had supported the former chief justice through the years in his stands over the Ten Commandments and other issues.

"I'm so happy. I prayed and God answered my prayers," Patricia Riley Jones of Abbeville said as she outstretched her arms to hold a Moore sign and America flags high aloft above her head. "He's a great Christian man. He stood up for God."
