Then why did Hoffman concede? What a fool for doing so before all the votes were counted, and on top of that he allowed the dems to use Owens to help pass deathcare. When are conservatives going to stop giving away their lunch money to bullies?

He conceded late on election night. Waaaaay to premature, IMO.

My understanding, and someone correct me if I am wrong, is that concessions mean exactly nothing. Final, certified vote counts count, not concessions. They are not legally binding they are a custom, a formality, a niceity, a classy thing to do (if you are sure you lost) but carry no legal weight.

He conceded because Hoffman, at the time, crunched the numbers and said those absentees wouldn’t make a bit of difference.

But, now the vote total does seem narrower than they were anticipating....

I think my statement on the thread that the math isn’t there may be a bit too hasty.

That is why he conceded though. He would have to win an unusually large number of the absentees, which he may have.

I have often said Conservative pols need to grow a pair, but I like the way you put it.

Exactly. Is this country worth fighting for or not?

We need a little more Churchill and a lot less Pansy in the Republican party. We have to fight them in the trenches...just couldn’t resist.

Then why did Hoffman concede? “

Perhaps he was a bit premature, but if the votes come out differently after all the absentees are counted, and the NY authorities then put their stamp on things, based upon the total count-—would the correct person then be sworn in?

Total MO of the Democraps- stall counting the absentee votes and hustle to swear the ‘winner’ into office.

If Hoffman comes out the actutal winner, does this go to court in NY?
