So, Roy Moore is still refusing to concede?

As far as I know, most states only allow a recount if the election is within a half percentage point, what is not the case here.

It appears he can pay for a recount regardless of the margin. If it was within 0.5% the state would pay for it.

So when will Jones get sworn in? Haven't read a clear date anywhere.

After the results are certified. In theory, this could mean as early as December 26, but in all likelihood the Senate will have adjourned for the holidays then, so it will likely be January 3rd, their first day back from break.

It was posted on page 5. See below. Despite winning statewide, Jones only won one CD (AL-07, the majority black CD).



Nice to see that Alabama is just as gerrymandered as more competitive GOP-controll States.

Alabama sort of has to be gerrymandered for republicans because of the requirement for a VRA district. You can draw a 5-2 R Map, but no better.

What happens if Moore never concedes?
The concession of the losing candidate is just convention, it doesn't actually matter

I'm pretty sure Marilyn Musgrave still hasn't conceded her 2008 race.

Alan Keyes never conceded to Barack Obama in 2004.

Also, Ron Paul never conceded the 2012 republican nomination to Mitt Romney.

Because the republicans ran a pedophile. Apparently the country has learned from its failure to care about Access Hollywood.

also AL has pretty f**king strict voter ID laws.

Funny, the Moore Republicans told me that the Jones campaign got illegal voters from MS, and that's why they won.

And for that matter I thought Greedo was banned? Huh

At any rate, since the Boy Dunder is still around, I'm asking this question. Since vote fraud goes on, how much vote fraud did the Roy Moore campaign manage? Surely you don't think that voter fraud is only committed by blacks, do you?

Greedo was put on mod review briefly, but is no longer on it.

Moore is now on Facebook blaming "Muslims and Marxists" for his loss. Because as we all know, Alabama is a hotbed of Muslims and Marxists.

So Moore has finally conceded the race?

2 more days until Certification day. Hoping that Merrill doesn't pull any tricks to try to elevate Moore's position.

I'm really proud of the AL Certification board. As Republicans, they have every incentive to delay certification as long as possible and cater to Moore's every whim. But they're actually making him accept the loss.

In response to Moore's claims that he is undoubtedly innocent of harassment thanks to a polygraph test, I offer this from Wikipedia:

So after all this Kabuki theater about military and provisional ballots being Pro-Moore, Jones's margin goes up, not down. LOL

Moore never concedes. According to him, there are still thousands of votes for him in the 2010 and 2014 Gubernatorial primaries that the state has refused to count.
