One Moore Try!

The Moore you know.
Former Republican senate candidate is trying to stop Alabama from certifying the senator-elect from taking his seat. He claims voter fraud and deceptive tactics from Republicans and Democrats.

The twice removed Alabama supreme court chief justice is still pouting over his devastating loss.

Roy Moore has not conceded his bid to win the U.S. Senate seat. Despite him being friendless and pretty much out of time, he filed a last minute lawsuit to halt the certification of his opponent Doug Jones, the first Democrat in 25 years to take the heavily favored Republican seat.

The seat was occupied by Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III and current occupier Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL). Strange lost his primary run off to Moore.

As Moore became the nominee, accusations came forth. Nine women accused Moore of predatory behavior. One of them said at age 14, Moore sexually abused her.

Moore who was a prosecutor from the Gadsden area was accused of trolling malls and malt shops for teenage girls while in his 30s.

Moore denied all the allegations. He appeared on Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival to denounce the allegations. He said that he "wouldn't date an underage girl unless she got approval from her mother."

Moore had the backing of former White House political adviser Steve Bannon and Donald J. Trump. The RNC at first pulled all funding from Moore.

Trump demanded the RNC get on board and fund him.

Moore lost the election by 20,000 votes. That's over the 1% threshold to demand a recount.

Jones, a former civil rights attorney and state prosecutor won narrowly. The Democrats were on pins and needles. They had Al Franken and John Conyers become distractions to Jones.

His win, gives Democrats hope to win back the Senate and House of Representatives.

The Republicans steadily passed tax reform without reading it.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that the winner will be seated in 2018.

Moore is hoping to keep the winner from being seated.
