Joy Reid: What If GOP Candidates Like Kari Lake Refuse To Concede In Midterm Elections? - The ReidOut

[Rhiannon12866]

Arizona's Kari Lake is just one of hundreds of Republican election deniers on the ballot this fall. This is why this election, and more importantly the day after the election, are so incredibly important. Joy Reid and her panel, former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade and political consultant Tim Miller, discuss. - Aired on 10/17/2022.

1. So what, if they have less votes, they lose.

You don’t have to concede.

4. I agree, there are already some from 2020 who refused to concede

Life goes on and they get ignored.

5. True, they don't have to concede.

But, they will probably demand recounts, challenge results in court, and delay finalization of results. During recounts, we might see some aggression from Republican poll workers and watchers, like the hired thugs who stopped recounts in Florida in 2000.

Possibly there will be local incidents of violence in various places across the country. Death threats to Democratic winners.

I would not be at all surprised if some of the Republican poll workers tried to change the outcome by rejecting some Democratic mail in ballots.

2. Be nice to get a sense of how the Supreme Court would view this constitutional screwball.

Before a real case gets to the Court. Someone has to stand up for the validity of our US Polling System.

3. 'What if?"

Lake already said the only result she would accept is if she wins. Of course she will not concede if she loses. When will we start believing these people when they make their intentions clear? We KNOW who they are, for Pete’s sake.
