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.

I don’t know why he hid. Why do GOP guys hide? Thank God Trump isn’t in that stupid mold.

In the meantime, however, I guess maybe a move for a restraining order in lieu of an appeal but I don’t even know if there is such a thing.

If Moore has substantial reason to believe the vote was fraudulent, IMO he should try everything - go as far as he can. He should.

>>>If Moore has substantial reason to believe the vote was fraudulent, IMO he should try everything - go as far as he can.

So given that he hasn’t called for a recount, can we assume that he doesn’t have substantial reason to believe the vote was fraudulent?

[Jim W N]

Could be. So he didn’t “call for a recount” but sued instead? That doesn’t make any sense to me.

[oincobx]

He has to pay for a recount out if his own or the campaign’s pocket. To date, he has not been willing to put his own money at risk.

[Jim W N]

Well, that’s interesting. He may feel like why should he pay for what he may consider to be probable cause of fraud in the vote. Takes me back to why he doesn’t appeal, but maybe that would also cost him too much I suppose unless he can use campaign money and still has some.

The Supreme Court of the United States had better hear AND RULE on it, OR ELSE ... ALL HELL IS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE !

The Supreme Court has no jurisdiction. Under the Constitution (Article I, section 5), the ultimate judge of any Senate election contest is the U.S. Senate itself. ("Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members"). If the Senate seats Jones, that's the end of it.

How dare you make sense!

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

He’ll be gone in 2020............

Time enough to do damage

Alabamans voted stupidly or failed to vote. That's a fact.

When there's been a CRIME committed, I believe the SCOTUS has jurisdiction.

Election Fraud Against Moore Confirmed, Shills BTFO ( 24:29 )

Things have changed!

Bennie Smith, a Memphis computer programmer, discovered HOW this is done through a

" ... a GEMS tabulator—for Global Election Management System—which is a personal computer installed with Diebold software that sits in a windowless room in the county’s election headquarters.
The tabulator is the brains of the system.
It monitors the voting machines, sorts out which machines have delivered data and which haven’t, and tallies the results.
As voting machines check in and their votes are included in the official count, each machine’s status turns green on the GEMS master panel.
A red light means the upload has failed.

At the end of Memphis’s election night in October 2015, there was no indication from the technician running Shelby County’s GEMS tabulator that any voting machine hadn’t checked in or that any votes had gone missing, according to election commission e-mails obtained by Bloomberg Businessweek.
Yet as county technicians followed up on the evidence from Smith’s poll-tape photo, they discovered more votes that never made it into the election night count, all from precincts with large concentrations of black voters. ... "

Diebold Election Systems changed its name in 2006 to Premier Election Solutions.
Bloomberg's article titled How to Protect Against Election Day Hacking gives more proof of this by Memphis computer programmer Bennie Smith.

"... The method Smith used to catch the problem should be a playbook for any candidate, party or concerned citizen worried about the accurate tallying of their votes:
Smith snapped some pictures of printed voting tallies (known as poll tapes) at a high-turnout polling location and then compared the results there to the electronic tabulations.
This is a very good, if labor-intensive, way to check to ensure that votes are being counted correctly.

Smith has created a proof-of-concept program called Fraction Magic, showing how corrupt officials could tamper with GEMS to manipulate election outcomes.


This map shows all the locations across the U.S. that use the GEMS vote-tabulation system as of Nov 2016.
