Moore, however, refused to concede. An automatic recount is triggered if a race is within 0.5 percentage points in Alabama, although Moore trails by roughly 1.5 percentage points, according to The New York Times.

McAuliffe went on to call Moore a “classless man” and a "bad loser."

“No surprise from a man who was banned from malls for stalking kids,” McAuliffe said, referencing a report that Moore was banned from an Alabama mall for making advances on teenage girls.
