Roy Moore's Campaign Claims Proof Of No Sexual Abuse, Alleges Election Fraud
A complaint was filed by Roy Moore, the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama along with his senatorial campaign Wednesday with a Circuit Court in Montgomery for “potential election fraud,” an official statement put out by the campaign stated.
The campaign demanded postponing the certification of Alabama’s special election results until a thorough investigation had been done into possible election fraud that it claimed had altered the outcome of the election, causing their candidate’s defeat.
As evidence of the alleged election fraud, the campaign cited three anonymous “Election Integrity experts,” all of whom reached the same conclusion – “with a reasonable degree of statistical and mathematical certainty… election fraud occurred.”
According to the statement released by the campaign, the experts in question agreed that “irregularities in 20 precincts of Jefferson County alone are enough to reverse the outcome of the election.”
In addition, Richard Charnin, the author of the books —“Proving Election Fraud: Phantom Voters,” “Uncounted Votes,” and the “National Exit Poll” —calculated the probability of the election results in those precincts as being “less than one in 15 billion.”
The statement also mentioned that Moore had undergone a polygraph test “confirming the representations of misconduct made against him during the campaign are completely false.”
On Dec. 22, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill said he would officially certify the election results in Moore’s Democratic rival Doug Jones' favor on Dec. 28, despite the fact that his Republican senatorial opponent refused to concede the race even two weeks after every news outlet had unofficially announced the results.
President Donald Trump too reached out on social media to congratulate Jones on his victory in the senatorial race.
Speaking to CNN in an interview, Jones said it was time for Moore to think about conceding the race.
“I think it’s time to move on,” Jones said. “Alabama has spoken. It was a close election, there’s no question about that, but elections can be close sometimes. But now it’s time to heal. Now it’s time to move on and go to the next thing.”
However, far from conceding, Moore still has hopes that the tables will turn in his favor and he would be declared the winner. This was proved immediately after the counting of the votes for the race ended and Moore remained stern on the notion that God will come to his aid.
"We also know that God is always in control," he said during his election night speech. Moore also went on to criticize the media for painting him as a sexual predator after multiple women came forward and accused him of sexually abusing them when they were minors.
“You know, part of the thing — part of the problem with this campaign is we've been painted in an unfavorable and unfaithful light,” Moore told his supporters. “We've been put in a hole if you will.”
A week later, on Dec. 13, Moore released a video message in which he said he was still waiting for military and provisional ballots to be counted. Raining on his parade, Merrill said that it was highly unlikely that the election results will be changed based on the ballots alone.
Insinuating that the battle was “not over,” Moore also sent out a fundraising email asking for contributions to his “election integrity fund” to investigate voter fraud on Dec. 15.
