If he concedes, what about the Electoral College?

[grumpyduck]

Do they still vote?

[MissB]

1. Yes

That’s the actual process.

[Bettie]

2. Yes.

Concession is simply an act of courtesy, one that I don't expect him to perform.

[C_U_L8R]

3. Concession is pretty unnecessary, it's more symbolic.

It's the decent thing to do... which is why poorsport whinybaby Trump won't. He writes his own epitaph.

[Progressive Jones]

4. Also, there is nothing legally binding about a concession. It can be "taken back". nt

[Statistical]

5. Concession has zero legal weight.

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.

6. I truly suspect that tRump thinks

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.

[KatyMan]

9. So do his followers

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

[Ms. Toad]

10. AND.

But - that same basic lack of understanding exists on our side of the aisle, as well - as evidenced by the OP.

[obamanut2012]

11. yup

[hlthe2b]

7. Of course. Concession is meaningless.

[greenjar_01]

8. Jesus

Yes, of course.

There's a process by which we elect people.

[MustLoveBeagles]

12. Yes

[Demsrule86]

13. Yes.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. One more yes, they still vote.

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.

[brettdale]

15. trump wont be conceding

Hes tweeting up a storm again, the usual BS, stolen election, lamestream media.

And in the end , Biden will still be President!!!

[MineralMan]

16. His concession will be meaningless in an official sense.

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.
