Republican Roy Moore said in a challenge to his Alabama Senate special election loss that he completed a lie detector test that proved the allegations of sexual misconduct against him are not true, according to The Hill.
"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," the Moore campaign said in a press release, the website reported.
Moore has refused to concede in the Dec. 12 Alabama Senate special election that was won by Democrat Doug Jones.
On Wednesday, Moore filed a lawsuit claiming voter fraud could have led to his defeat.
The filing happened ahead of a scheduled Alabama canvassing board meeting Thursday that would officially declare Jones the winner.
"The purpose of the complaint is to preserve evidence of potential election fraud and to postpone the certification of Alabama's special election by Secretary of State John Merrill until a thorough investigation of potential election fraud, that improperly altered the outcome of this election, is conducted," Moore's campaign said in a statement, according to The Hill.
According to NBC News, Moore's statement said that its claims of election irregularities were substantiated by three election experts, and named one of them, Richard Charnin. The statement quoted Charnin as saying that the chances of the election results being accurate were "less than one in 15 billion."
Charnin is a prominent figure among those who believe that President John F. Kennedy's assassination was part of a conspiracy, NBC News reported.
Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill said he had so far found no evidence of voter fraud and told The Associated Press Wednesday that he would not delay the canvassing board meeting.
