MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Roy S. Moore, the first Republican to lose a United States Senate race in Alabama in 25 years, moved late Wednesday to block state officials from certifying the victory of his Democratic rival on Thursday afternoon because of “systematic voter fraud.”
In a complaint filed in the circuit court here in Alabama’s capital, Mr. Moore’s campaign argued that such fraud had tainted the Dec. 12 special election, which Mr. Moore lost to Doug Jones by fewer than 22,000 votes, and that the Alabama authorities had inadequately investigated claims of misconduct.
If the election is prematurely certified, Mr. Moore’s lawyers wrote, he will “suffer irreparable harm” and be “denied his full right as a candidate to a fair election.”
John H. Merrill, the Alabama secretary of state, has dismissed complaints, from Democratic and Republican critics, of election fraud. In an interview on Dec. 15, Mr. Merrill, a Republican who voted for Mr. Moore, flatly declared: “I have not seen any irregularities or any inconsistencies that are outside the norm.”
In a text message early Thursday, Mr. Merrill said he did not intend to postpone the certification proceedings that would ultimately allow Mr. Jones to take office.

The chances that 92% of registered Dems voted is an absurdity.
I do think that he is a man of integrity. I hope that he is successful in uncovering whatever evil occurred related to the voting.
even if there was fraud on a massive scale, getting a judge to throw out the results is a fools’ errand..........................
We have to start exposing it somewhere so the Demo rats can no longer deny it is happening.
Oh. Well then, nothing to see here. Move along. Just so long as the voter fraud is within normal, accepted levels.
And different sources

Add to that, the jackass at the Jones HQ on Election Night saying live to a TV reporter, “we came from all over the country, voted and got our boy elected” Probably a good idea to check it out..
Its gone Roy, the rats stole it fair and square, now start your defamation and election interference law suit against the Washington Post. Make em pay for this
Prove they paid off those women and that year book is a 100% forgery. Make em wear the fake news badge.
Good for him, he’s entitled to do it and let him do it.
I understand he has collected evidence of irregularities at 20 precincts among other things.
Hmmmm....just what is 'the norm', Mr Merrill?
Sounds rather ambiguous ...
The chances that 92% of registered Dems voted is an absurdity.
Why?? Saddam Hussein won with 110% of the Vote in Iraq.
He needs to find a way to prove his innocence and not bother with the senate. That is not as important to this country as exposing the fraud. Maybe he sues the women and force a polygraph
There’s 100 percent chance there’s potential for fraud.
They’ve ( the media) have tagged him ....’Roy Moore, the accused child molester’
You bet I would sue and fight like crazy for justice!!!!!!
They did this to him.....who is next?
““I have not seen any irregularities or any inconsistencies that are outside the norm.””

Hark! Do I hear the cry of the Red Screechus Leftilius in the region of Powervania?
Judge Roy Moore can do both.
Even if he doesn’t win the seat, the stories of illegal voters will play well for the elections next year, especially in Alabama. I think enough Republicans will start to hate what they allowed to happen and the turnout will probably be quite massive.
As for the women, make them sweat it out on the stands. I especially like the polygraph testing. I have actually threatened that recourse in disagreements with senior directors in my agency. I said I would gladly take a polygraph if they would also. (I have yet to take one in those situations.)
And Trump can never be elected.
Oh, wait!
The Senate is secondary to exposing Demo rat election fraud.
We have to start somewhere, and if we don't address it they'll perfect what they did in Alabama and use it everywhere.
