If you've been peddling this story, you can quit now:
How to tell fake news sites, you ask? One way is to read the sidebars and ask "WTF?"
This one, though has already been certified WRONG three times:
Here's Politifact's smackdown.
Still insisting they're a liberal fake news site? Suit yourself.
Here's Strike Two:
Montgomery County Circuit Judge Johnny Hardwick issued an order denying Moore's request to halt the certification at 12:26 p.m. Thursday. "The court is of the opinion that it does not have jurisdiction pursuant to Section 17-16-44, Code of Alabama 1975; as amended. It is therefore, ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order be and is hereby denied. It is further ordered that this matter is hereby dismissed," he stated.
If that's not enough, here's Steeeeeeerike Three:
Doug Jones was certified by Alabama's state canvassing board today as the winner of the Dec. 12 special election for the U.S. Senate, despite a last ditch legal challenge by opponent Roy Moore...
The certification by the canvassing board made up of the governor, secretary of state, and attorney general, came after a judge denied Roy Moore's request to halt certification of Jones' win in the Alabama U.S. Senate race.
The board met at 1 p.m. to certify the results of the Dec. 12 special election for U..S. Senate.
Doug Jones' final margin of victory was 21,924 votes, the Secretary of State's office said before the certification began. Official vote tally: Jones, 673,896, or 50 percent. Moore, 651,972, 48.3 percent and write-ins, 22,852, or 1.7 percent.
