From The Trussville Tribune staff reports
MONTGOMERY — A canvassing board made up of Alabama Governor Kay Ivey, Attorney General Steve Marshall and Secretary of State John Merrill certified the results of the 2017 special election Thursday that Doug Jones won on Tuesday, Dec. 12.
Democratic nominee Jones defeated Republican candidate Roy Moore in the special election for the seat in the Senate vacated by Jeff Sessions after he was named Attorney General of the United States.
Moore tried to have the certification blocked on Thursday, but Merrill said Moore’s complaint would not stop the process.

Mike Jay – hopefully he is a centrist and not a uber left leaner. That is what I am hoping for, we shall see.

And he’s proud of a crocked election.

Polished democratic smear campaign worked. Doug Jones didn’t win on his own merit, he was inserted up the system with a well funded, carefully orchestrated democratic smear campaign. That’s the way it’s going down in history.
