Does HRC's concession make any difference?

If the recount turns this nightmare around, does it matter that Hillary has verbally conceded?

1. No

[roamer65]

2. Concessions are meaningless.

It's the congressional vote to certify the EC votes that matters.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. No, there's no legal requirement to do so.

The only thing that counts is how many votes a candidate gets.

4. No

It's just a courtesy.

5. Gore called W from a car and took back his concession as number in FL got closer.

[MADem]

6. Nope. Only thing that matters is the EC, and if they can't do it, the House. nt

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

7. I don't see why, from a legal perspective, which is all that really matters at this point.

8. There is nothing in the Constitution about concessions, so legally, they are literally meaningless.

[Vinca]

9. If fraud or gross incompetence was uncovered and it meant she won a state rather than lost, no.
