Judge rejects Roy Moore's suit in Alabama Senate race

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama Democrat Doug Jones on Thursday will be officially declared the winner of a U.S. Senate race after a judge rejected Republican Roy Moore's last-ditch effort to stop the certification of Jones' historic upset in a deep-red state.

Montgomery Circuit Judge Johnny Hardwick denied Moore's request for a restraining order to stop Alabama's canvassing board from certifying Jones' victory on Thursday.

Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill said Jones will be certified as the winner of the Dec. 12 election on Thursday afternoon. He will be sworn in on Jan. 3.

A spokesman for Jones earlier called Moore's action a "desperate attempt ... to subvert the will of the people."

"The election is over. It's time to move on," Sam Coleman wrote in an email.

Jones defeated Moore by about 20,000 votes. Moore's campaign was deeply wounded by accusations of sexual misconduct involving teenage girls decades ago. Moore denied the accusations and said he has taken and passed a polygraph test to prove they are false.

Moore's attorney wrote in the wide-ranging complaint that he believed there were irregularities during the election, including that voters may have been brought in from other states. He attached a statement from a poll worker that she had noticed licenses from Georgia and North Carolina as people signed in to vote.

The complaint also noted the higher-than-expected turnout in the race, particularly in Jefferson County, and said Moore's numbers were suspiciously lower than straight-ticket Republican voting in about 20 Jefferson County precincts. The complaint asked for a fraud investigation and eventually a new election.

Judge Moore should focus on suing the Washington Post and subject those who accused him to a lie detector test, and move on from there. The election is over.

Ah. So the "Judge" is a Black Muslim as well. He's the one who picked this name.

Clearly unbiased against Roy Moore, the Champion of Judeo-Christian codes.

Might as well be in Nigeria.

He should appeal this decision to the next higher court. This judge is a corrupt rat bastard.

Moore is right about the vote fraud. As always he will not be provided the opportunity to prove it. The greatest enablers of Vote fraud are right here on the conservative side by people who choose not to see the evidence that is right before there eyes.

Show us the evidence they say. There is evidence that things were not right. But without an extensive investigation then the kind of evidence they want will never be found. And that is exactly what the cheaters are counting on.

Our system is now designed to enable vote fraud, and protect it.

I'm telling you that

"A traitor is everyone who does not agree with me."

The United States Citizens KNOW that they're going to have to fight TYRANTS in their own government.
You can not protect life, without the ability to take life.

While you are WAITING for the police to respond, someone could be losing their life.
All people of a responsible age should be armed.

As EternalVigilance reminded us:

Let's subjugate them to OUR end game, DUST!
"COMPROMISE" is a DIRTY word!
People who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.


Remember: Read Second Amendment: It’s Not About Hunting, IT'S ABOUT TYRANNY .

If he’s innocent, he should sue.

The judge is sure to get a visit or an all out assault on himself from the PDS. They need to make an example out of this insolent SOB the way they did Alex Koskinen of the 9th Circuit. I bet they will.

Can he do that, though? Doug Jones has been certified already.

Getting worked up over Judge Moore is not going anywhere.

If you have proof then give it to him. He sued and lost.

Trump was right. Strange would have won.

So people think until the Democrats brought out the "corruption hammer" to beat him with.

Luther Strange would have been toast. They would have just used different accusations.

Wasn’t Roy Moore ON THE BALLOT? Why would there be write-in votes for him?

Looks like an OJ Simpson juror. Acts like one too.

We will win the seat back in 2020.

This was an aberration, like the Republican being elected to the Senate in Mass. in the special election to fill Ted Kennedy's seat in 2009.

I wish the Alabama Secretary of State would file ethics complaints against every Congressman that condemned Roy Moore for illegal interfering with an election. That’s exactly what they were doing.

I wish the FEC would hammer them with million dollar fines for interfering in the election process.

“Wasn’t Roy Moore ON THE BALLOT? Why would there be write-in votes for him?”

That is exactly the case that should be argued and based on that all the Write-In Votes must be credited in the Moore tally.
