MONTGOMERY –According to a statement released by the Roy Moore campaign on, an election complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Montgomery on Wednesday.
Unofficial election results show Moore losing the U.S. Senate race to Doug Jones by less than 2 percentage points.
“This is not a Republican or Democrat issue as election integrity should matter to everyone,” said Moore. “We call on Secretary of State Merrill to delay certification until there is a thorough investigation of what three independent election experts agree took place: election fraud sufficient to overturn the outcome of the election.”
The statement said “the purpose of the complaint is to preserve evidence of potential election fraud and to postpone the certification of Alabama’s Special Election by Secretary of State John Merrill until a thorough investigation of potential election fraud, that improperly altered the outcome of this election, is conducted.”
Moore said three national election integrity experts reached the same independent conclusion, “with a reasonable degree of statistical and mathematical certainty…election fraud occurred.”
In the complaint, election experts who submitted affidavits in the complaint claim that the irregularities in 20 precincts of Jefferson County alone are enough to reverse the outcome of the election.
One of the experts, Richard Charnin, calculates the probability of the election results in these precincts happening naturally is “less than one in 15 billion,” according to the statement.
Moore also included a statement in the complaint that he successfully completed a polygraph test confirming the representations of misconduct made against him during the campaign are completely false. It is unclear what, if any, bearing that would have in a complaint alleging voter fraud.
Three women accused Moore of inappropriate sexual contact.
Secretary of State John Merrill, along with Governor Kay Ivey and Attorney General Steve Marshall, will make their decision regarding certification on December 28.

Roy Moore needs a Nathan in his life.
Does he not have a pastor, elder or friend who is willing to stand up to him for what’s right?

I voted for him but he lost because he’s stupid. Voter fraud had nothing to do with it.
Beth Taylor Gore
Of course he filed. Would anyone really expect him to have any dignity about losing? The man has proven he won’t take no for an answer.
