December 13, 2017It’s time to face the music. It’s over.
Roy Moore lost. Doug Jones won. This is reality. It is what it is. End of story, right? WRONG. Roy Moore is refusing to concede. He’s remaining hopeful and telling supporters that it’s not over quite yet.
“When the vote is this close, it is not over,” Moore said.

Alabama state law requires an automatic recount when election results are within 0.5 percent.
With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Jones holds 49.9 percent of the vote, compared to Moore’s 48.4 percent, a 1.5 percent gap, according to The New York Times.
Shortly after Moore’s speech, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill (R) was asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper if he expected “anything other than Mr. Jones being the next senator from the state of Alabama.”
“I would find that highly unlikely to occur, Jake,” Merrill replied.
Give it a rest, guys. It’s absolutely over. Don’t pull a Hillary. Accept the results and move on.
