GOP Alabama Senate Candidate Roy Moore refused to concede on Tuesday night and insisted more votes could still swing the race and save him from a stunning defeat to an underdog Democrat.
When the vote is this close, that its not over, he told supporters in Montgomery at his campaign rally shortly after Democrat Doug Jones already had been declared the winner by multiple news organizations and had given a televised victory speech.
With all precincts reporting, Jones had 49.9 percent and Moore 48.4 percent.
Moore quoted from scripture and told supporters to wait for all votes to come in including provisional ballots and those cast by overseas military members.
Thats what weve got to do, is wait on God and let this process play out, Moore said. But the votes are still coming in and were looking at that.

Couldn't resist.
Sue Mdam Alfred and company for damages to your reputation
They are who we thought they were! And we let em’ off the hook!
My friends: Remember you really gotta beat em’ convincingly otherwise they’ll steal it.
I can understand Moore’s reluctance to concede at this hour, with the margin of victory so razor thin, but come on, Roy. After all these months, you barely got half of the Trump voters to come out for you.
You should have taken a lesson from Trump, and fought harder.
It’s over.
cool - doubt it will help but...
How many Alabamans are oversees?
Currently a difference of almost 21,000 and/or about 1.5%

True.
Agreed.
Would Jones have conceded if reversed ?
Are there outstanding absentee ballots?
Too many of my fellow FReepers are acting like losers. They know the Dems cheated because they always cheat and they really had it out for this man. Even if Moore loses, its another chance to catch Democrats rigging elections. Moore is a real fighter. Republicans dont have enough of those.

What ever happened with Trumps investigation of vote fraud?
Perhaps he was a fighter in times past, but he didn't even manage to get half of the Deplorables to the polls.
I'm afraid he didn't fight hard enough, this time around.
Republicans dont have enough of those.

Do they have any? :)
The Sec of State said no military absentee ballots have came in. Most are probably on the bottom of the Gulf.
Kind of an uphill battle when you're outspent 14:1 and the GOPe pulls funding from you over misconduct charges that are not only unproven, but likely false...
