Doug Jones was certified by Alabama's state canvassing board today as the winner of the Dec. 12 special election for the U.S. Senate, despite a last ditch legal challenge by opponent Roy Moore.

Jones issued a statement immediately after the certification.

"I am looking forward to going to work for the people of Alabama in the new year," Jones stated. "As I said on election night, our victory marks a new chapter for our state and the nation. I will be an independent voice and work to find common ground with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to get Washington back on track and fight to make our country a better place for all."

The certification by the canvassing board made up of the governor, secretary of state, and attorney general, came after a judge denied Roy Moore's request to halt certification of Doug Jones' win in the Alabama U.S. Senate race.

The state canvassing board met at 1 p.m. to certify the results of the Dec. 12 special election for U..S. Senate.

Doug Jones' final margin of victory was 21,924 votes, the Secretary of State's office said before the certification began. Official vote tally: Jones, 673,896, or 50 percent. Moore, 651,972, 48.3 percent and write-ins, 22,852, or 1.7 percent.

Alabama Certifies Jones Win, Brushing Aside Challenge From Roy Moore

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/us/politics/roy-moore-block-election.html

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama officials on Thursday unhesitatingly pushed aside a legal challenge from Roy S. Moore and certified Doug Jones as the winner of this month’s Senate election.

The action, during a brief meeting at the State Capitol, was essentially the state’s final step before the seating of the first Democrat elected to the Senate from Alabama in a quarter century. It was also a swift rejection, by some of the state’s most powerful Republicans, of Mr. Moore’s complaint that he was the victim of “systematic voter fraud.”

Mr. Jones’s margin of victory was 21,924 votes with more than 1.3 million ballots cast.

I await a gracious statement from Roy stating that he will accept the results of the election and congratulate the new Senator Jones but will continue to work as a private citizen for the principles he ran on.

Moore is reported to have filed suit to block this certification from going into effect.

Roy Moore Files To Block The Stolen Election ( 16:20 )

Here's the Court Filed Moore Voter Fraud Complaint .

Did you watch the youtube.com video that shows the reduction in the total count of over 2,000 votes (16,028 dropped to 14,321 Roy Moore Write-in votes) of the COMPUTER TOTAL for JUDGE Roy Moore in just one minute, from 6:58 to 6:59 of the LIVE running voting COMPUTER COUNT video Seth Abramson posted, that he shows in his own video ?
Start at 4 minutes 33 seconds into THE VIDEO and go until 16:20, the end of the video.

Tell me ... WHEN does a running total vote count GO DOWN, and NOT UP ?

[Red Badger]

He is just a placeholder until Jeff Sessions original term is filled out.

He’ll be gone in 2020............

[Coronal]

I await winning Powerball.

[Terry Mross]

In other words he’ll find common ground with democrats and rinos.

[Coronal]

His request was denied.

[Rational Thought]

Will be an “Independent Voice”. Okay, let us watch and see.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

I’m thinking your wait won’t be nearly as long.

[Coronal]

I’m thinking you’re right.

[Jim W N]

Didn’t he appeal?

[Truthoverpower]

This guy is a liability times 100 for our side I'm very glad he lost. Very glad Who the hell shows up to the polls on a horse 🐴? His interview with hannity a friendly voice was his undoing Let be fair here. Some Christians are wing nuts If you don't win in Al by 30 points as an R. You're a loser Period He should go away. And soon

[tennmountainman]

We will see how “independent” Jones ends up being.
Many predict he will be Chuckie’s puppet.
And I agree.

[factoryrat]

You do realize that this Jones guy is in there for good now.

Between him and Shelby, the socialist-democrats now own those Alabama senate seats.

If you think the socialist-democrats are going to give that up, you are delusional. They own Alabama now.

After all, the socialist-democrats convinced the republicans in Alabama to either vote for a socialist-democrat POS, or a write in candidate.

Long wait

[John 3_19-21]

Or stay home.

[Biggirl]

Jones will be gone in 3 years. Give it time.
