The Young Republican Federation of Alabama, which represents party members between the ages of 18 and 40, suspended its support for Roy Moore on Saturday after a super-majority vote.

The resolution that was approved by the steering committee also said Moore should step aside if he cannot "clearly and convincingly refute" the allegations against him. Moore, who has been accused of engaging in inappropriate relationships with teen girls while he was in his early 30s, has denied all the women's claims.

The resolution specifically mentioned those allegations, which originally surfaced on Nov. 9 in the Washington Post. Since then, several more women have come forward to accuse the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court of misconduct.

"The Young Republican Federation of Alabama Steering Committee believe in innocence until proven guilty but not necessarily electability until proven guilty," the resolution read, "and our duty is not to the individual candidates but to the longstanding growth and sustainability of the Republican Party."

While Moore has lost support from Republicans outside the state, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, most party leaders inside Alabama still support the GOP candidate. Gov.Kay Ivey recently said she did not doubt the accusers, but would still vote for Moore in December.

Moore cannot be removed from the ballot in Alabama, and he has questioned the timing of articles published about incidents that allegedly happened decades ago. Some recent polls have shown a lead for his Democratic opponent, Doug Jones.

The Young Republican Federation of Alabama includes local clubs from across the state.

"The YRFA is a diverse organization with clubs all over the state of Alabama," said YRFA Chairman Jackie Curtiss. "We understand, respect, and appreciate that there are varying opinions on this issue within our Federation. We also encourage and welcome individual clubs to speak out on this issue according to the conscience of their membership."
