Local GOP leaders insist it's too soon for Trump to concede

EVERETT — As President-elect Joe Biden forges ahead with planning his transition to power, many Republican leaders in Snohomish County continue to insist the outcome of the contest for the White House is not decided.

“We are going to stand by the president. We will wait until all the legal ballots are counted,” said Debra Blodgett, chairwoman of the Snohomish County Republican Party. “We believe there are definitely some shenanigans going on. We just want to see the outcome that is the truth.”

President Donald Trump won’t concede, though national news organizations declared Biden the winner Saturday after the former vice president was projected to be the winner of Pennsylvania’s electoral votes. As of Wednesday, Biden had received 77 million votes nationwide to Trump’s 72 million.

Trump has filed legal challenges of election results in several states. The lawsuits, most of which have been unsuccessful so far, allege voter fraud or irregularities in some states’ conduct of elections.

Local GOP leaders say it is premature to expect 72 million people to fall in line with so many ballots left to tally across the country and a hand recount looming in Georgia. The outcome will be known, they said, when each state certifies its election results and the Electoral College acts Dec. 14.

And the GOP wonders why they don't do well in Washington State. It is right now mathematically unlikely for Trump to pull out a win.

Trump is just trying to keep the perpetual grievence so he can milk more money from the simple minded.

Republicans up here are such a minority, they only attract the lunatic fringe. Which drives more people away, making them more of a minority. Which means...
