McAuliffe Refuses to Concede After Downer Election Night Message
New York Post ^ | November 2, 2021 | Samuel Chamberlain

Terry McAuliffe declined to concede defeat in the Virginia gubernatorial race Tuesday night, despite trailing Republican Glenn Youngkin by more than 100,000 votes with most precincts reported.

“We still got a lot of votes to count, we got about 18 percent of the vote out, so we’re gonna continue to count the votes because every single Virginian deserves to have their vote counted,” McAuliffe told cheering supporters in the suburban outpost of Tysons Corner, Va. at around 10:20 p.m.

Down to a 71K vote difference...the “2am mail-in ballot effect” has kicked in:

Terry McAuliffe declined to concede defeat

Is he some sort of racist conspiracy nut? Isn't that what people are who refuse to concede?

I thought 3 a.m. was the traditional ballot dump hour. Or is this just a time zone difference?

I think it depends on the time difference with China.

Stupid thing to say. Does he think if he concedes everyone just says: “Ok, stop counting, throw those ballots we haven’t counted yet out in the trash.”

I Told Ya! It ain’t over until the required amount of ballots are printed, filled out, packaged, and dropped off at the required precincts. And he’s got lots of time to do it.

The lead has dropped to a little over 2% from over 5% a few hours ago.

Will it hold until Friday?

That one is getting old and obvious. It makes more sense for them to wait until tomorrow.

Only 88K absentee ballots outstanding. My guess, most won’t be returned.

Terry McAuliffe is on Team Clinton.

He will not get the same 3:00 A.M. election support as someone on Team Obama.

I just looked at the breakdown by county. In almost every county, zll precincts except 1 reported. Like 50, at least. Just one precin holdi out, every county. If those holdouts all go for the weirdo, you know the fix was in, just a new method.

Seriously suspicious. Pick zny county, see for yourself:
