That's called losing an election, dude.

Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill told the Associated Press Wednesday evening that he has no intention of delaying the canvassing board meeting.

"It is not going to delay certification and Doug Jones will be certified (Thursday) at 1 p.m. and he will be sworn in by Vice President (Mike) Pence on the third of January," Merrill said.

In the complaint, Moore's attorneys noted the higher than expected turnout in the race, particularly in Jefferson County, and said that Moore's numbers were suspiciously low in about 20 Jefferson County precincts.


Merrill said he has so far found no evidence of voter fraud, but that his office will investigate any complaint that Moore submits.

Bonus Tweet:

@Murphy_The_Goat

Roy Moore claims to have proof that tens of thousands of underage women voted in the Alabama Senate election. He is demanding their names, phone numbers, Tinder accounts and parents' work schedules.

So it's okay to feel them up and treat them like grown women, but God forbid they be able to think like grown women.

He hasn't accepted that his supporters stayed home. They couldn't stomach voting for a child molester and sexual predator.

A little part of me still wants to believe that any breathing human being would loathe that lizard.

Yeah. I know.

Sure that's satire, but surely they would be one set of white women that would vote against him!

Moore says we have all our problems because of their "new rights" in 1965 then says the last time America was great was during slavery times...
What is suspicious is that any black people voted for him at all and some did. Im surprised that there were black people that stayed home after that. Moore was the worst possible candidate. That anyone voted for him is an embarrassment

and not one of them noticed hundreds of buses full of black people coming from other states!

These are the people who think somehow a US president was born in Kenya and forged a birth certificate.

The real shock to these people is that despite their best efforts, black Alabamans and women and other liberals turned out in a big way to vote for Doug Jones, the clearly better candidate to represent their state in the US Senate.

Denial is not a river in Egypt.

i was hooked by demanding their tinder accounts. I guess dating is a little slow since he can't go to the mall anymore.

But hey, maybe we can come up with some grindr accounts for him.
