What concession speeches? I'll bet they both run as independents in the fall.

California probably has a "sore loser" law (most states do). That prohibits someone who runs in a primary and loses from running as an independent in the subsequent general election. The SCOTUS has ruled those constitutional. (I had a number of them set aside as unconstitutional for John Anderson in 1980, but only for their application to a presidential candidate, as opposed to a candidate who ran totally within one state.)

You won't see Riodan or Condit in the fall.
