Roy Moore’s Senate campaign on Wednesday night released a nearly five-minute video of the candidate giving a campaign-style address to supporters in which he again refuses to concede to Doug Jones. “In this race, we have not received the final count​ to include ​military and provisional ballots,” Moore says in the video. “This has been a very close race and we are awaiting certification by the secretary of state.” Alabama state law requires a recount if the final results are within 0.5 percent, but Jones defeated Moore by 1.5 percentage points.
