Outgoing
President Donald Trump now faces a stark choice: Concede graciously for the
sake of the nation — or don't, and get evicted anyway. The Associated Press
reports that Trump is not expected to ever formally concede, citing people
close to him, but is likely to grudgingly vacate the White House at the end of
his term. In not formally conceding,
Trump would break with a more than a 100-year old tradition in US politics. His
ongoing efforts to paint the election as unfair are seen both as an effort to soothe
a bruised ego and to show his loyal base of supporters that he is still
fighting.
There is no
evidence to support Trump's unprecedented claims of mass fraud in Tuesday's
election.
President
Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit in the
state of Arizona that seeks the manual inspection of in-person ballots in
Phoenix. The Election Day ballots, which could potentially be in thousands,
were allegedly mishandled by poll workers. This was filed hours after the
dismissal of another Arizona election lawsuit that challenged the use of
Sharpie markers in completing Election Day ballots.
