This is similar to what I said earlier today. America is the biggest and the best. Yes, we're going to come accross strong, but that doesn't make us bullies. I hate not standing up for our core beliefs and caving in all the time!
Thank goodness someone mentioned the absentee ballots that we can't even START counting until tomorrow! With the canvassing AND absentee ballots, 7500 is not such a big number.
It's only 4000, NOT 7000.
So why would he concede before all the votes were counted? That would be a really stupid thing to do. I support his waiting for the votes 100%. That's what democracy is.
The absentees have been counted. Only the provisional ballots are left. Absentees are counted on election night in Virginia. Provisional ballots aren't. Those are the folks who aren't on the official rolls, vote and 95% get tossed because they were correctly excluded from voting because they never registered in the district.
