MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Republican Roy Moore hasn’t conceded his 20,000-vote loss to Democrat Doug Jones in Alabama’s Senate race, and provisional ballots and military votes still being counted show Moore can’t close the deficit.

Jones beat Moore on Dec. 12 to become the first Democrat elected to the Senate from Alabama in a quarter-century. Moore was beset by allegations of sexual misconduct involving teenage girls decades ago.

Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill announced Wednesday that a total of 366 military ballots were returned from overseas and 4,967 provisional ballots were cast. That is short of the 20,000-vote deficit that Moore needs to close.

Alabama will certify the election result between Dec. 26 and Jan. 3.

1. Even after the election is certified, Moore won't concede.

"I won, Gawd sez so!"

Seriously, Moore is now begging his supporters for money to "investigate" claims of "voter fraud."
(Even though there aren't any)

2. The man simply has no class.

6. There is not legal requirement for a candidate to 'concede'.

And Moore can beg for money all he wants to 'investigate'. We all know how well that works. We know that Russia diddled out election and the Orange Asshole is still in the White House and the GOP/FOX are working their asses off to delegitimize Mueller, to we can pretty much safely ignore the insane clown from Alabama.

10. Yes the "'concession" has become merely a media spectacle

They want to gain eyeballs for advertising from the concession speech, and the breathless lead up, wondering when or (**horrors!) IF there will be one. What will the candidate say! STAY TUNED! And now we have media gold, THE REFUSAL TO CONCEDE! And it all means nothing.

4. See's that high paying,affordable health care job flying away....

Aw shucks Roy boy....you'd could go do rodeo's,your horse handling skills showed so much on election day.

[Fred Sanders]

5. Until God certifies He is a loser Roy...though voters "have decided" he is. Remember that?

7. But God was on his side.

'Tantum religio potuit suadere malorum."

8. Moore may win in a landslide

Just have the same people who scored the tax bill do the counting.

9. Roy Moore can't "fill" the vote gap anymore than...

his little gun can fill a holster.

11. It's pathetic when losers won't concede

[Skittles]

12. it certainly is character-defining

but then we already knew Moore doesn't like to take NO for an answer
