(19,264 posts)Trump concedes or Trump doesn't concede the process will play out the same way. All candidates concede because it is the right thing to do not because the process requires it.

(2,769 posts)if he doesn't concede, that puts a hold on Biden becoming president. Completely wrong of course, but it goes with his twisted mental condition.

(4,211 posts)Our education system has really failed in regard to civics. Or, more likely, they're just really really stupid people.

(25,902 posts)It is only the Electoral College votes that matter, not the popular vote.
And conceding does not make the winner the official winner. They win regardless of what the other candidate does.

(146,333 posts)It is not required. The Electoral College is the only factor involved.
Biden will have enough electoral votes to overcome any disloyal electors who might pop up.
The Constitution rules.
