Yeah, I know. So why are they still counting votes in their election, stupid I think; maybe it is criminal in statute? I don't know but I do know it shouldn't be happening.
A concession means a lot in the USA. More than a formality, there is legal precedent for concessions.
in an election, a concession is seen effectively as the person giving up/quitting and is therefore the end of the election, regardless of actual counts. The count is almost always finished, however, for accuracy and the cultural value of elections in America, where "everyone's vote counts" (not sarcasm).
There are rare instances where, once counting is done, the quitter would have won had they stayed in the race.
There is legal precidence where someone conceded then found out they won and sued to get the position. IIRC (probably not) depending on the way you conceeded (actually gave up, gave a vague speach, etc.) Has a lot to do with if you can still win the election.
Ah yes, the party violating the law to change votes and turn the election over, will honor their legal concession.
I'm 100% certain the party that's willing to weaponize the DoD, break the law using taxpayer funds, and rig elections, will do whatever it takes to win the election.
Of course they will. They're defying court orders now, they won't stop just because of the law.
My point was a concession wasn't a trivial matter to be flippantly disregarded, though team evil does just that on a regular basis.
I'm sure if they thought they could get away with an outright coup they would do so, and still might try it. If they don't know 100% they are done, they will soon, so what have they to lose besides everything?
it (conceding) seemed like it was an important part because, first Killary didn't concede the first night, then Kameltoe didn't concede the first night and i don't think Trump conceded at all?? and it seemed like a big deal.
and i was confused as to why 'they' are still counting for the presidential race when Kameltoe did concede.
Understandable. I've not seen/read her concession, so not sure how they'd try to rescind it. I believe, regardless of merrit, if they think they have a chance through cheating they will try to plow through, as others have said, they won't stop until physically forced to.
It depends on a lot of circumstances. Typically yeah, a concession is given in a blowout election right away, or when the tipping point is reached. Also it depends on what was said, did the press call it a concession or did she actually give up, etc.
If I had to guess I'd say she gave up but someone forgot to tell the fake ballot printers about it.
she already conceded.

If they didn't cheat, it would be hard to clean out the system.
Let them do what they want. The mandate has been won. Now, we go to war on the DS.
Doesn't mean much. It's just a formality. Edit: Not sure why that was downvoted. It's the truth, or are we afraid of that here?

Basically what HRC did in 2016.
thanks for the explanation Rooks.

sorry anon, i didn't down vote ya. i just came back on the board. someone is down voting a lot on this one.
i thought once they concede it's over.
All good. Seems to be a group of triggered pansies here. They can downvote this too
