A defiant Roy Moore declined on Wednesday to concede the Alabama Senate election to Democrat Doug Jones, saying that he is waiting on the Alabama secretary of state to certify the vote count.
In a wide-ranging video address posted online, Moore said that the race between him and Jones remained close, and that military and provisional ballots had yet to be counted.
“We are indeed in a struggle to preserve our republic, our civilization, and our religion and to set free a suffering humanity,” he said. ” And the battle rages on.”
The address touched on themes familiar to the former Alabama Supreme Court justice’s political career. He admonished what he deemed immorality and expanding secularism in American society and warned of impending judgment from God.
“Today, we no longer recognize the universal truth that God is the author of our life and liberty,” he said. “Abortion, sodomy, and materialism have taken the place of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
