When the fraud is proven, and it will be, the election will be overturned. I don't think conceding now changes that. I think what is going on is they let the big ones either cheat-win or come close and now the eyes of the country are on these particular races. Common sense would tell you Katie Hobbs couldn't get close to Kari Lake in votes. Same with Hochul and Neckblob - the odds of them winning are so ridiculous I think normies will accept the turning over of these races as details of what happened in the elections are revealed.
I think Trump never conceded because he knew the optics of that and he is no loser. Here is what I think is true of concessions:
In the US, if a candidate concedes a loss to their opponent but later wins the vote, do they still lose the election?
No. Election results are legally binding and go through a number of defined steps before an election victory can be certified as final. Theoretically, at any point in that process, the provisional or projected results reported on Election Night could change before legal certification of the result is issued.
Concessions are not legally binding. They're meant as a courtesy between opponents, as a recognition of the validity of the process, and as a show of (for lack of a better term) good sportsmanship.
while you might be factually correct, the real issue is what actually happens, if the candidate concedes.. Pressure and attention die down and people look away. you even give them that ammunition " Well so and so did concede. "
we clearly see how much of what they get away with actually relies on truth and justice, and how much of it relies on what they can convince people of.
Mike Lee (R) won vs Evan McMullin (I), who was endorsed by Democrats, in the Senate race.
Utah, a entirely red state, became 1 of 8 mail in ballot states since 2020 too.
I'm quite surprised with the current result.
McMullin was ex-CIA undercover officer and voted and endorsed Biden and Democrats but ran as Independent to unseat Republicans in Utah. He conceded yesterday but its never legally binding so it doesn't matter.
However, the Utah governor did say it may take several days to count all votes because they expected that most of their voting is done by mail... sooo...
Waiting on Hobbs vs Kari Lake in Arizona. Literally Patriots with long guns stood watch.
I hope they get to every piece of paper ballots!
Yeah because mail-in ballots are the way to go to win.
Hell yeah, tip my Texan hat to you folks out there.
P.S I'm glad no name is 6ft under.
Zeldin just congratulated Ho.
Didn't I just read here that he hadn't conceded? And now he has? WTF??

concession isn't losing, it's quitting. feels like this is why Trump never conceded.

He did this afternoon apparently
There needs to be some real leadership real soon.
Not entirely true.

They might still steal it.
Don't believe the lies. Most people are to the right, or in the center. They are the majority.
