Will the provisionals be counted even if Kerry concedes?

[bluestateguy]

I can understand him making a concession if it is mathematically impossible to come back, but even if Ohio is lost I want those votes counted. Many people stood in line for hours, missed work and worked very hard to register new voters to vote yesterday. They have earned the right to have their votes counted if they are legally eligible voters.

1. From what I understand a concession stops all vote counts

2. Nope, not counted

Again.

You know, I'm starting to wonder how bad we screwed ourselves with absentee ballots. I bet a lot of those won't get counted either.

3. Remember that scene in First Knight...

Where Sean Connery was admitting defeat, and doing his farewell address, and suddenly changed his tone and exhorted everyone to fight?

Oh, if it were so......

7. Please let that be it!!!

Don't let him concede the fight, let him carry it forward and keep it going.

5. I agree

Now this is against what I usually feel should be done.

WE really should stand behind our candidates.

But in this case he is no longer a candidate so

Fuck Kerry.

Where is the tougher Vietnam fighter?

What did they offer him?

6. They will have to count them for local and state races.

Don't know if they will count presidential votes since Kerry is conceding.
