@Turial someone just said that they are doing a recount, I just don't see the sense in conceding before that's complete. I guess if it turns out that he in fact won, that his concession is irrelevant?
@StephanieResists From what he said, he doesn't want people to continue fundraising for a recount in the hopes that it goes his way. He would prefer people keep the money and spend it on groceries and other things they need. A recount is already a foregone conclusion by law, but he doesn't believe it's going to change the vote enough to be in his favor.
@StephanieResists he did it with complete grace but I’m with you I would have just waited and let the recount unfold and justify the original count, that it was mostly likely going to do.
@StephanieResists Maybe he didn't want to be petty and drag it out or call for recount after recount after recount. Would his appointment have flipped the house? Hard to say.
