Who said anything about Hillary?
Well, when the discussion is about conceding an election, it is the losing candidate that concedes, not the party or some other member of that party. There was a concession to the 2016 election, and it came from the losing candidate. Whatever Nancy Pelosi may have said has nothing to do with that.
Speaking of, there is someone recently that hasn't conceded his loss. That person is Roy Moore.

He said the Left, not Hillary. He's right and you know it. It's sad you can't just admit it.

Saying and doing are 2 different things.

I find it funny that educated people still fall for this kind of nonsense.
Sorry, I don't find the sitting president refusing to commit to one of the most basic functions of our government as nonsense, whether he is kidding or not. I'd rather take him at his word today then chalk it up as "nonsense" and have it play out in real time in January if he loses.

What exactly do people think he is going to do?
What he's doing now. Make unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud, work the courts to have legitimate ballots tossed out, call into question the integrity of our voting systems, etc. I'm not saying it will work, but I do think it would be damaging to our system of government.

I know what he said, and he used the wrong word if he meant the left. It is not the left's responsibility to concede an election. It is the candidate running for the seat that concedes.

Make unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud
quote:
HARRISBURG – On Monday, September 21, 2020, at the request of Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis, the Office of the United States Attorney along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Scranton Resident Office, began an inquiry into reports of potential issues with a small number of mail-in ballots at the Luzerne County Board of Elections.
Since Monday, FBI personnel working together with the Pennsylvania State Police have conducted numerous interviews and recovered and reviewed certain physical evidence. Election officials in Luzerne County have been cooperative. At this point we can confirm that a small number of military ballots were discarded. Investigators have recovered nine ballots at this time. Some of those ballots can be attributed to specific voters and some cannot. All nine ballots were cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump.

You might want to edit that word out.

The DOJ letter concerning that case makes no allegation of any wrongdoing, so no need to amend anything. The allegation is still unsubstantiated. Here's a statement from a DOJ representative yesterday, which points more to just a mistake in the election office than anything nefarious.
quote:
“[O]ur investigation has revealed that all or nearly all envelopes received in the elections office were opened as a matter of course,” read the letter from Freed, addressed to Shelby Watchilla, the director of elections for Luzerne County. “It was explained to investigators the envelopes used for official overseas, military, absentee and mail-in ballot requests are so similar, that the staff believed that adhering to the protocol of preserving envelopes unopened would cause them to miss such ballot requests.”

I guess it's just a coincidence every single one of them was for Trump, huh?

Where is the substantiation that the incident was intentional to throw votes out? There certainly isn't one in the DOJ press release, or the in their letter to the elections office.
So again, this story is going to be amplified as some mass conspiracy to cast doubt on the election system. Over 9 ballots in a large county. Which just supports my point.

Those were just the ones that were found. 1 is too many and this exhibits the lengths to which people are willing to go just to hurt Trump and the Replublicans.
The left is dirty as frick no matter how much you deny it.

I actually agree that any ballot getting tossed out and not being counted is concerning. When it happens though, there isn't always something nefarious going on. In reading the DOJ letter, and their follow up statement from yesterday, it looks like this was just a mistake by someone in the office because the ballot envelope is very similar to the absentee application envelope. Once the actual ballot is opened, the ballot is tainted, because the law there specifies those ballots cannot be opened until 7AM on election day.
So at this point, my point remains that the allegation of fraud is unsubstantiated. But it isn't going to stop you guys and the president from amplifying as some mass conspiracy to take him down.

Republicans think the democrats will try to steal the election. Democrats think Trump will definitely not concede if Biden is declared winner. So both have similar sentiments about each other as usual.
It’s a good chance we don’t know who the winner will be by the end of election night. Maybe Trump will projected winner at first but Biden will end up winning. Or Biden winner at first but turns out Trump really won. Accusations of cheating will increase. Chaos will erupt. shite show of epic proportions.
Once again, I want this year to be over with.

We need to return to the Articles of Confederation or something like it. Folks are delusional if they think one side is going to be fine with the other side deciding things for them. A 52%-48% victory isn't anything to brag about.

7 of the 9 ballots were Trump ballots. 2 were not. Those two were placed back in their envelopes in a clear bid to have those votes counted. Do we need to draw you a map?

That doesn't substantiate anything.

Again, you sound ridiculous to even suggest that that could work.
The system of checks and balances is in place to prevent that very thing. If one man can manipulate it that bad, then our government needs to be blown up and restarted. Or you could look at things from a realist point of view, which is that no matter how bad Biden would be, neither Trump nor the Republican party is going to turn the country on its head just to keep him in power.
Again, educated people who fear Trump's rhetoric are exaclty why he patronizes them and makes them look silly. And probably why he will win re-election.

But Spleen is still certain Trump trashed military veterans, even though there’s no actual evidence, because “it’s something he would do”.
