Looks like we got another whiner, that can't except he lost the election and refuse to concede?!!
It was a close election in Virginia too, no problem with the democrat loser conceding?!!
Hours after polls closed in the unexpectedly tight race for New Jersey governor, the Democratic incumbent, Philip Murphy, and his Republican challenger, Jack Ciattarelli, took the stages at their campaign parties and said it would take more time for the results to be finalized.
A new system of voting, which utilized electronic poll books and did not permit the more than half-million mail-in ballots to be tallied until Election Day, had bogged down the count.
Six days later, Ciattarelli, who trails Murphy by about 65,500 votes, or about 2.6 percentage points, according to The Associated Press, has yet to concede — even though the AP has declared Murphy the winner.
Ciattarelli’s campaign stressed that there was no evidence of fraud, and he has warned his Republican supporters against “falling victim to wild conspiracy theories or online rumors.” Officials with Ciattarelli’s campaign said Monday that they were waiting until all mail and provisional ballots were counted, a process they expected to be completed within two days.
Still, that has not stopped Murphy’s campaign from criticizing Ciattarelli.
“Assemblyman Ciattarelli is mathematically eliminated, and he must accept the results and concede the race,” Murphy’s campaign manager, Mollie Binotto, said Monday in a statement. “His continuing failure to do so is an assault on the integrity of our elections.”
An election lawyer for the Ciattarelli campaign, Mark Sheridan, acknowledged that it was unlikely for Ciattarelli to pull ahead in the vote count. But he said it was possible Ciattarelli could come within 1 point of Murphy — the threshold at which he said it would be prudent to ask a judge for permission to conduct a recount.
At the same time, Sheridan sought to distance Ciattarelli from former President Donald Trump’s post-election “stop the steal” strategy that made disproved claims of voting fraud and led to the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
“We’re not hearing any credible accounts of fraud or malfeasance,” Sheridan said.
