Roy Moore is bad at riding horses, and on Tuesday night, he was bad at winning elections.

Moore lost the Senate race in Alabama to Democrat Doug Jones and a lot of people were happy about it. Moore's win came as a surprise, as Democrats haven't fared well in Alabama elections for about a quarter decade.
