- Moore was arrested on perjury charges in 2014 during a state corruption probe. A jury found him not guilty.
- In January 2021, Twitter briefly suspended Moore's personal account over posts about the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 riot. He then shut the account down and said he was being censored.
- Independent candidate Craig Jelks called Wess an 'invisible candidate' and asked him to drop out so Democrats could back an independent. Wess did not drop out.
