Moore says he took polygraph after election to confirm accusations were false

Republican Roy Moore says he completed a lie detector test after the Alabama Senate election concluded to prove the allegations of sexual misconduct are untrue as he seeks to challenge his Alabama Senate election loss to Democrat Doug Jones.

"Also provided in the complaint is an affidavit from Judge Roy Moore stating that he successfully completed a polygraph test confirming the representations of misconduct made against him during the campaign are completely false," Moore's campaign said in a Wednesday press release.

In a reliably Republican state, Moore's campaign became rocked by multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. A handful of women accused the former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice of touching them sexually when they were teenagers and he was in his 30's.

One woman says she was 14 years old when Moore touched her sexually. Another accuser said Moore assaulted her when she was 16 years old, pushing her head towards his crotch in a locked car.

1. Totally worthless

Polygraph tests are convincing only if you don't know the science or lack thereof behind them.

[tanyev]

3. Also not very effective on sociopaths.

[Scoopster]

5. Also they're inadmissible as evidence in court proceedings

Of course, it's also totally irrelevant to claims of voter fraud, unless you consider Moore's continued effort to undermine the election process to be fraud.

knows ANYTHING about court proceedings!
He has NO concept or understanding of the LAW - why would proceedings be any different?

6. He could start a business, training people

To beat polygraphs.

7. It's Not Training

Since he is a sociopathic liar, lying is just like breathing. He can't teach that. It just it what it is, with that slime ball.

8. Someone needs to

lead this appalling pedophile off the stage, medicate him, and stuff him in a closet somewhere. Then lock it up and throw away the key.

Liar.

14. He should have taken a swimming test in the river

15. A. No Legal Value To Polygraphs B. AFTER The Election?

16. I have no doubt he believes he did nothing wrong.

I wonder what questions the tech asked him? "Did you ask the 15 year old girl's mother if you could date her?"

[Blue_true]

17. A polygraph test that favored him. His claim means nothing. nt

The food court at the mall.

We need to put up a candidate in Alabama for governor.
