end just about every other outlet there has called this race for doug jones. as you are the secretary of state on earlier tonight, he did say to us that under alabama law, if the vote was is and a half percentage point, it does qualify for a recount. tonight, moore is hinting at that. he is not conceding. there are provisional ballots and other things that will take some time to sift through. not every vote is in. far from it. his campus hoping for a bit of a miracle. quoting from the bible talking about god hearing his cry and climbing to his lift them out of the clay. essentially, what they are doing is what will be there laugh wow last hope is to get the vote with and have a percentage point and trigger that recount. bret baier joins us now. not a concession tonight. no. there are other bible verses that say, it s over. i will tell you what, the
standby. one thing about the data, if i could just revert to my decision desk mode for one quick second, we have all the vote in now that we will have tonight. but there are still going to be contested ballots that will be part of the canvas that will go through. we would expect, if not the preponderance of them, but the bulk of them, to be probably from places where jones would do better. you tend to find more contested ballots in lower income areas, minority areas, these are going to be areas where he should do better. we should expect the margin to grow out a little but probably for jones and it doesn t look like there is any way that ends up with and half a point. shannon: it looks like continues to move in the other direction. at what point would you expect them to come forward and make that concession? do you think we get it tomorrow? based on his career, i wouldn t be surprised if he starts funding for a recount push. shannon: if you are not within half a point, it is no
next tuesday. that information needs to be back in our office by next friday, the 22nd. the earliest that the vote can be certified will be the 26th of december and the latest will be january the third. so within that window, there are a number of things that have to be processed and executed by the local offices and each one of the 67 counties, as well as our office, the office of the secretary of state. we need to make sure that everything is done according to plan, to ensure that the integrity and preservation of the credibility of this process is secure. shannon: okay. the man we now think is a senator elect, not officially without your certification, but doug jones, appears to have one tonight, the democrat. he s got a lot waiting for him tonight but just so folks are reminded, this is essentially a two-year term for him as he fills the sea that was vacated by jeff sessions when he became the attorney general. you know, two years outcome a lot of people are already running for t
