Moore asked a judge late Wednesday to issue a restraining order to stop Alabama's canvassing board from certifying Doug Jones' victory on Thursday. A spokesman for Jones called Moore's action a "desperate attempt ... to subvert the will of the people." Merrill said he has so far not found any evidence of voter fraud, but he has said that his office will investigate any complaint Moore submits. Hasen said Moore's complaint might just be a way for him to fundraise and throw "red meat to his loyal supporters." Jones and Moore were competing to fill the U.S. Senate seat that previously belonged to Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
