Losing Senate candidate and accused pedophile Roy Moore wants to void the Alabama election results, citing an "unusual" number of black voters.
Some people simply do not know when to give up. One such person is rejected Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Faced with accusations that he stalked and molested teenage girls, as well as his views that women and Muslims should be ineligible for office and that America has not been “great” since the abolition of slavery, Moore lost a race that should have been completely safe for Republicans to Democrat Doug Jones, a former U.S. attorney and civil rights hero.
But Moore has refused to concede the race. And on Thursday morning, he filed an emergency motion in state circuit court to block the results from being certified, alleging widespread voter fraud and calling for a new election.
One of the principal arguments Moore is making to support his claim of voter fraud is that an “unusual” number of black people voted:
Moore cites high turnout in a county that's far higher-than-average African-American (a pattern that's not exceptional & is documented throughout state) as evidence of fraud. African Americans voting is apparently inherently suspicious.
Moore’s complaint also falsely asserts that the results are suspiciously different from exit polls, and claims that there was an “unexplained pattern of voters with out-of-state drivers’ licenses,” based on the uncorroborated testimony of a single poll worker at a church in Montgomery.
It is in Moore’s nature to refuse to abandon causes that he has already lost, as evidenced by the fact that he was fired from the state supreme court for violating the Constitution, then re-elected and fired again.
All of this would simply be amusing if it were not for the fact that Moore has spent the past few weeks fundraising for his “Election Integrity Fund.” Moore is trying to scam real people out of their money to support his delusions.
Jones, the man who defeated Moore earlier this month, released a statement excoriating Moore’s lawsuit as a “desperate attempt” to “subvert the will of the people.” But he was not alone — Republicans joined the call for Moore to let it go.
New Jersey Republican Rep. Leonard Lance blasted Moore’s complaint as “ridiculous,” saying “he should concede the election.” Alabama’s GOP Secretary of State John Merrill, whose job it was to manage the election, agreed. When asked if the lawsuit would make a difference, he said “The short answer to that is no. Doug Jones will be certified today.”
After they stuck by him through overt racism and pedophilia, Roy Moore is finally becoming the embarrassment to the Alabama Republican Party that he should have been all along.
You were very, VERY lucky to have had an intelligent and objective judge there. The courts are horribly slanted towards the woman always being right and the man always being guilty.
Matthew Chapman , race baiting as if his life depends on it. What an unAmerican twit.
He needs a swift cuff up alongside of his head.
Moore has discovered mathematical evidence of wide spread voter fraud in three precincts, and the left is all nervous about Moore’s filing/
They shlu;d be nervous, Moore is about to reveal them. They are so nervous all they got is the race baiting option left.
IMHO Moore has got them cold.
The socialist-democrats perfected the “seriousness of the charge” character assassination technique, and have used it successfully against republicans for quite some time.
If perhaps Luther Strange would have won the primary, I would guarantee that the socialist-democrats and their RINO cohorts would have sabotaged his chance of victory also.
That POS Mc Connell WANTS the GOP to be in the minority. It’s much easier for those slimebags to wheel and deal when they’re not in the spotlight, or have to actually take responsibility for their actions.
The GOP being a lap dog for the socialist-democrats is perfectly fine with them, as long as they get theirs.
If he has proof that the election was rigged he should present it - in fact, he should have presented it immediately.
Not every election lost by a republican is rigged.
Maybe but in this case the author is right. How dumb is Moore to use an excuse as Black’s voting to stop the election. He is an embarrassment to the conservatives for sure.
Oops. You seem to have forgotten Obama’s two elections that Black’s voted for him over 90 percent each time. THINK!!!!!
I support Roy Moore doing whatever he thinks the right thing to do is.
I agree, and I think his legal fees should be crowdfunded. This malarky has to stop sometime. IMHO the defendants in the case he brings should include the MSM, which can be called out as “The Associated Press and its members, joint and several liability.”The AP should be sued for violation of the Sherman AntiTrust Act, which SCOTUS already found the AP in violation of in 1945. The advantages include the fact that the AP is a monopoly, which was too big to fail in 1945 but is no longer so in 2017 (because economizing on telegraphy bandwidth is no longer a major consideration in the propagation of the news). Also, Sherman provides for triple damages.
The only trouble with that approach is there is no end to it - you then need a class action with every Republican voter as plaintiff, and all of the obvious MSM abuses over the years as torts. But the AP should be sued into oblivion.

Moore needs to spit out his actual charges of how the cheating occurred, if he wants to not look silly going forward on this.
Right now he looks the same as his accusers.
Prove it Roy.
I hope he does.
Yes, he needs to state his case.
Too much crusading, not enough stating of the case.
That seems to be a ‘Moore’ thing.
I like him, he is a Christian weirdo like me, but fails to see how the world sees him at times.
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.
Because he’s fighting a clearly lost cause. He’s even more delusional than Hillary.
That is what I expect a SOS to say. They have never stopped Democratic voter fraud operations before, so why now? Cowards they are.
We know that Democratic voters came from out of state to vote in this election.
Unless thousands of Democrats from California drove over and voted in Alabama.
But this one was - out of state voters.
I am not convinced it is a lost cause. Vote fraud always seems to be a Democrat trick, and I should not be surprised that such occurred in Alabama. The numbers look very suspicious. They are showing irrational levels of Democrats going to the polls and voting in an off year election.
Let us just see if an investigation can actually reveal some fraud. What is the harm in that?
Sad. How do we prevent this cross state voting in the future?
I do not have problem investigating fraud. The AL sectretary of State was just on FoxNews. He said that they had 118 reported incidents of voter fraud that he’s investigating. But the spread was way beyond that. He also stated that the reason the voter participation was so high was that the media made such a big thing of the election. The fact that Moore lost doesn’t by itself show the election was fixed. Unfortunately Moore motivated the Dems more than he did the GOP.
I don't think the problem was motivation, I think the problem was demotivation by the national Republican party and by Republican party office holders who urged Republicans to stay home or "write in" someone else.
The bastards should have kept their F***ing mouths shut in the absence of proof. Accusations are not convictions, or at least they didn't used to be in the US of A.
It is a very ugly and very dangerous trend to accept accusations as proven without adjudication. People on our side should not have participated in what was actually a witch hunt.
