Alabama: Sore Loser Roy Moore Tries To Stop Certification Of His Lost Election

Roy Moore

Failed Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore still refuses to concede he lost the U.S. Senate election in Alabama to replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions to Democrat Doug Jones.

In what looks to be a lame 'hail Mary' attempt to stop Doug Jones from being seated, Moore has filed a complaint with the Alabama State Canvassing Board intended to stop the certification of Jones' victory.

From NBC News:

The Moore campaign filed a complaint late Wednesday night in state circuit court in Montgomery, the state capital, seeking a temporary restraining order to postpone the certification, alleging "potential election fraud that improperly altered the outcome of this election."

"This is not a Republican or Democrat issue as election integrity should matter to everyone," Moore said in a statement released by the campaign.

Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill told The Associated Press on Wednesday evening that he has no intention of delaying the canvassing board meeting.

“It is not going to delay certification and Doug Jones will be certified (Thursday) at 1 p.m. and he will be sworn in by Vice President Pence on the third of January,” Merrill said.

Moore's statement gives few details of the purported irregularities, which it says were substantiated "with a reasonable degree of statistical and mathematical certainty" by three election experts.

State officials say they have seen no evidence of voter fraud in the Alabama Senate race.

One of Moore's "election experts" also says he has "mathematically proven" a vast conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy. So, there you go...

Moore also included the results of a polygraph he claims "proves" none of the allegations of sexual misconduct are true.

Roy Moore is suing to stop Alabama election results from being certified, citing unusually high voter turnout in Jefferson County, Alabama. The county seat is Birmingham (73% black). What could possibly motivate black people to vote against an old white man who supports slavery? https://t.co/o6Zetf0nAm

Roy Moore had said America hadn't been great since slavery, can't understand high voter turnout by Blacks who voted against him. https://t.co/33I7YYsVt7
