If it were a demo, would it be over?

answer: NO

It’s time we stop playing by rules they do not recognize.

“Concession” here doesn’t have any legal standing. It’s just considered good manners in any contest. The winner is whomever received the most amount of votes, and this race hasn’t been certified since the votes haven’t all been counted. Pelosi swore in Owens on the face of incomplete numbers.

Owens has not been certified, not that that ever let the RATS bother them on a technically. If he were somehow to be named the winner and certified, then it will be interesting to see how this would play out.

AlGore Conceded and then later UNconceded in 00.

If the LIBERAL SCUM can do it... a semi honest person CAN too.

I believe a concession is simply a courtesy.

No it does not. All it means is that he acknowledges, on the information he has, that he has lost. If that information is incorrect then he can still win.

No - conceding is just a nice gesture but that’s it.

No, the Secretary of State must certify the election. Doug can still win and Owens would have to be unsworn and what happens to the Healthcare vote????
