I did not read all the comments to this post, so if someone else pointed this factoid out I give them my respect....
CONCESSIONS DO NOT APPLY TO ELECTIONS RESULTS.
So whatever the final approved results are when all the smoke has cleared the winner is still determined by the votes cast by eligible voters. So I will continue watching as each race suspected of being a bad faith result becomes a case for the courts to adjudicate. This is not a game this is a legally held election with clear rules that need to be adhered to by all parties. Yeah, I know there are more that a few bad actors out there and some of those may very well get away with their latest transgressions... but until they take away all of the rights guaranteed to us by the law of the land, we are duty bound to continue fighting on whatever fucking battlefield this war is being waged upon. Currently that is legal and informational.
I still believe there are more true patriots who understand their oaths of service to the CONSTITUTION, that still have enough learning to understand what is and is not constitutional, to do their duty. OUR duties are not terribly different after all.
Logically, legally, yes. Concessions are comparable to coerced confessions. However legally if you concede, you will get fucked by the courts. See what happen to Ritter in PA. SCOTUS ruled that the lower court's ruling was vacated, that the ballots should not have been counted, and thus Ritter should have won. But because he conceded, they rendered the case moot.
