That's called losing an election, dude. [View all]

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.

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.
