The President is working overtime
If all goes according to plan,
Election Day is by far not the end of the process, but really closer to the beginning.
Once Americans cast their votes, in person or by mail, it's up to each state to verify those ballots, tally the results and review challenges, if there are any.
Then comes the next important part of the election: certification.
The date of the general election is set by the U.S. Constitution, but it is counties that count the votes and the Secretaries of State that certify or finalize them.
Not the media.
And the date for certification is different in each state. For example, the deadline for Arkansas to certify Nov. 3 election results is Nov. 18.
But in California, the state with the highest population in the country, they have more time. Their certification date is Dec. 11.
In Iowa, results must be certified "no later than twenty-seven days" after the election, according to Iowa Code.

Ah the scorched earth approach. How very mature and Republican of it all
Not that I agree with stooping to the same lows as the Democrats, but I wonder where they might have gotten the idea from? The Obama Administration set the new low standards of transition, now perhaps, the Republicans will simply play by those same standards.

Remember the time Obama refused to concede and didn't even invite Trump to the White House?
Also, remember when everyone told Trump supporters that he hadn't won just because the media said so and to wait for the EC vote? Me either!

China and Russia will be rubbing their hands in glee at this news. How nice of Trump to help them like this.

I remember just two weeks ago when Hillary told Joe not to concede UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES - do you? Sounds like Trump took her advice.
