Of course he will not concede. He is waiting to see the outcome of the Electoral votes on Jan. 6, and watching if it goes to the Congress by 1 House contest and 1 Senate rep to contest the Jan.6 results.

At that point, he knows that each State has 1 vote. I'm sure he is also lobbying the 30 state Repub legislatures to re-select their Electors in his favor. The rub is that it takes 1 Repub from the House and 1 Repub from the Senate. We have 1 House person ready to contest, now it's up to 1 in the Senate. My guess that will Rand Paul. Does anyone know if we have 1 committed Senator who would contest?

All Trump needs is 26 votes at that point and he wins.

I actually want to see it go this far. What a lesson in civics it would be, not to mention the socialist/commies heads exploding everywhere.

I think there’s one more step in the process. If there’s an objection by 1 rep and 1 senator, the congress goes into a 2 hour session to deliberate on what to do next. The House would decide to accept the result and carry on. The Senate could decide to contest the result but of course Republican senate discipline would need to hold. Only at that point would it go to the House for a vote with each state having one vote.

My guess that will Rand Paul.

Or Ted Cruz.
