Roy Moore files legal complaint to prevent Doug Jones from being sworn in as Alabama's newest Senator, citing already debunked allegations of election fraud.

I don't understand math.

Roy Moore, the Republican nominee who lost Alabama’s closely watched Senate race this month, has filed a last-minute legal complaint alleging “election fraud” and asking the state not to confirm the victory of Democrat Doug Jones. 

In the complaint filed in state court, Moore’s campaign argues that Alabama “will suffer irreparable harm if the election results are certified without preserving and investigating all the evidence of potential fraud.” It cites rumors of election fraud that have already been investigated and refuted by the Alabama secretary of state, argues that high Democratic turnout in key areas was statistically unlikely, and reports that Moore himself has taken a polygraph test — an attempt to disprove allegations that he made unwanted sexual advances on teenagers when he was in his 30s. 

Moore’s lawyers filed the complaint at 10:33 p.m. Wednesday night and announced it to reporters less than two hours later. At 1 p.m. Thursday, Alabama’s election officials — all Republicans — are scheduled to certify the election. Early Thursday morning, they gave no indication that they would delay that process. In Washington, leaders of both parties expect Jones to take his oath of office when the Senate returns next month.

Unfortunately for Moore and his alternative reality living supporters the Alabama Secretary of State says there are no plans to alter the will of the people.

Courtesy CNN:

Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill confirmed Thursday morning that Democrat Doug Jones will be certified the winner of the Alabama special Senate election despite Republican Roy Moore's refusal to concede and request for a new election. 

"Will this affect anything?" Merrill said on CNN's "New Day," referring to Moore's challenge. "The short answer to that is no." 

Merrill said he would meet Thursday afternoon with Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey and the state Attorney General Steve Marshall to certify Jones' win, and that Jones would indeed be sworn in when the Senate returns in January. 

"We will sign the documents certifying him as the senator for the state of Alabama," Merrill said. "He will be sworn in by Vice President Pence on January 3 when the Senate returns."

This is something that I never thought I would say but in the case of Roy Moore, being a pedophile may not have been his worst personality trait.

This guy is a straight up asshole through and through.

The Senate really dodged the bullet on this one.

I cannot imagine that this douchebag works and plays well with others.

Update: It looks like a judge just rejected Moore's challenge, and Jones is about to be certified as the new Alabama Senator. 

Update 2: Doug Jones was just now certified as the winner of this election.

So now pedophile Roy Moore can just jump on that poor horse of his and ride off into the sunset. 

Assuming that horse does not throw him off onto his ass of course.

It is finally official, Roy Moore will NOT be the newly elected Senator from Alabama.

After coming up short on Election Day, Judge Roy Moore urged his supporters to keep the faith. Praying for a recount, the Republican reminded his supporters that “God is in control.” But either the Almighty just didn’t hear or the divine decided to vote Democrat in Alabama for the first in more than two decades. 

The Alabama secretary of state’s office just announced that it has received 5,333 overseas and provision ballots well below the number needed to trigger a recount, let alone overcome the 20,715-vote lead of Democrat Doug Jones. It is now numerically impossible for Moore to win. 

Candidates must come within 0.5 percent or less to trigger a recount according to state law, and currently, Jones is ahead of Moore by 1.5 points. 

Hoping that the candidate’s Army service would play well with troops stationed overseas, the Moore campaign pinned its fate to military absentee votes. “A lot of votes are in, but they’re not all in yet,” said campaign chairman Bill Armistead. “There’s a law in Alabama that requires a recount if the vote is one half of 1 percent.” 

That optimism was swiftly dashed Wednesday when the secretary of state announced that just 4,967 provisional ballots had been received and declared that “no additional ballots are eligible to be received.” Those results could be certified as early as the day after Christmas.

You know the funny part is that everybody else had already moved on and Doug Jones was all but sworn in, which left old Roy Moore stomping his feet and cussing into the wind about how unfair it all was essentially almost all by his lonesome.

Of course that did not stop Moore from continuing to fleece the morons.

Well, what can you say?

He is definitely a Republican.

Roy Moore was trounced last night in Alabama, but that does not mean he is ready to concede.

Man after listening to that speech you would think that God was running on the ticket right along with this accused pedophile.

Courtesy of AL.Com: 

Roy Moore has frequently said, in social media posts, that he will never give up the fight. 

And after he lost the Alabama Senate election on Tuesday to Democrat Doug Jones, Moore is sticking with that mantra -- refusing to concede the race to Jones. 

He waited more than a hour after the race was called to address supporters in downtown Montgomery late Tuesday night, then told them to wait some more. 

"Realize when vote is this close, it's not over and we still have to go by the rules," Moore told the crowd, which cheered when he appeared on stage. 

Even as Moore refused to surrender, Alabama GOP Chair Terry Lathan issued a statement late Tuesday night acknowledging Jones' win -- concluding her statement with "now that this race has ended."

An automatic recount only comes into play if one candidate beats the other by less than 1 percent of the vote, but since Jones beat Moore by 1.5 percent that will not come into play here.

And if Moore thinks he will get any support from Donald Trump, well he has another think coming.

The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election. I was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!

That Mr. Moore is known as being thrown under the bus. (Say hi to Reince Priebus, George Papadopolous, and Michael Flynn while you're down there.)

Now while we are all celebrating the people of Alabama (Actually the black people of Alabama.) for rejecting this teen girl assaulting asshole, keep in mind that over 650,000 Alabamans voted for his racist ass.

So perhaps we should keep the victory parade a little short, and then recognize that there is still much work to be done.

But as Julian Castro pointed out there are those who certainly need to be aware that something is coming.

Be afraid, @tedcruz . Be very afraid.

That is worthy of framing.

Alabama Election Open Thread. Update!

Courtesy of the New York Times:

The results of a special Senate election in Alabama on Tuesday will carry immense national implications for President Trump and both parties, after a strange and ugly campaign left voters exhausted by the politicking and confused at the polls. 

A victory by the Republican candidate, Roy S. Moore, who has been accused of sexual misconduct with teenage girls, would illustrate the enduring limitations of Democrats in the deeply conservative South. A win by his Democratic rival, Doug Jones, to fill the seat left vacant when the president appointed Jeff Sessions as attorney general, would shrink Republicans’ Senate advantage to a single seat, putting their majority in play. 

Mr. Trump, who ultimately gave Mr. Moore his full-throated endorsement, tweeted his support on Tuesday morning: “Roy Moore will always vote with us.” 

Mr. Jones, who cast his ballot early, will need strong turnout from black, urban and suburban white voters. Mr. Moore, who rode his horse to the polls, will need support from rural white voters.

This of course should be a slam dunk for the Republicans, as Alabama is a deeply red state.

However that was before Trump forever damaged the brand, and before they nominated an accused pedophile to run for the Senate.

Now the outcome of the election is anybody's guess.

But one thing for sure is that a win by a Democrat could indicate a progressive revolution that could sweep through Washington in 2018.

And for that matter even a close race in which Moore barely ekes out a victory could also indicate a progressive revolution that could sweep through Washington in 2018.

Both Jones and Moore already voted of course, though Moore's arrival at the polling station was somewhat more theatrical.

You know it takes more than a tiny pistol and a Brokeback Mountain sexy leather vest to be a real cowboy, and this guy certainly does not ride like a real cowboy.

It appears he is as real of a cowboy as he is a Christian.

Update: The Associated Press just called the race for Jones.

BREAKING: Democrat Doug Jones won election to the U.S. Senate from Alabama in a sharp blow to President Trump that narrows the GOP’s majority in the Senate to two. He beat Roy Moore, a former chief justice of the state Supreme Court who had been accused of sexual misconduct.

This seems a little premature, and I don't think any other news outlet has joined them, but they seem confident.
