Reply to comment by RotateTombUnduly in How Doug Mastriano’s run for Pa. governor veered far off course by neverjumpthegate

Genuine question: if he keeps refusing, will it just look like bad sportsmanship, or does he have to concede for things to move forward?

Edit: oh thank goodness. The possibility of Mastriano getting any sort of power was fucking scary and I'm glad it's over.

Conceding isn’t necessary, it’s just done as a small token of good faith. Shapiro will be Governor regardless of what Mastriano says.

It didn't hurt Trump when he never conceded. In fact, bad sportsmanship is now in the DNA of the Republican party.

Once the election is certified, it doesn't matter what he says or does or believes. He doesn't hold the office now so he doesn't really stand in the way of a transition like Trump did when he lost but refused to concede.

We can continue. He can take his ball and go home
