Mike Huckabee to Roy Moore: Best to Exit With Class

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee called on defeated Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore to step away from the election after the loss.

Roy Moore won't concede; says will wait on God to speak. God wasn't registered to vote in AL but the ppl who voted did speak and it wasn't close enough for recount. In elections everyone does NOT get a trophy. I know first hand but it's best to exit with class.

Moore on Tuesday night refused to concede defeat to Jones.

The Republican candidate earned 48.4 percent of the vote in Alabama, compared to winner Doug Jones' 49.9 percent. However, Alabama state law only requires a recount if the vote difference is within 0.5 percent, according to The Hill.
