Vote Counting Not Over

[tonantius]

I just heard Tancredo on the Peter Boyles' show this morning. He said that there are 50,000 uncounted ballots in Arapahoe county and more in other counties. These ballots were generated by people voting straight Republican but then realized that they wanted to vote for Tancredo for Governor. They went to the precincts to get provisional ballots. These ballots are also for Buck. Buck may still win. The final vote counts are not certified until Nov. 22nd.

How will that work if he already conceded?

and was losing by more than 50k votes anyway

I think he's talking about Buck's race though, which if there were 50,000 more votes for Buck, he would win

"conceding" pretty much just means that the candidate is not going to pursue recounts, or continue in their campaign... but they could "un-concede" any time they want.

The final certified vote tally determines the actual winner, regardless of who says or does what in either campaign... same way a dead person can win an election, and create a vacancy.

Bennett-799,072
Buck- 783,426

They are still really close with lots of ballots left to count

I hope the smug gets knocked off their faces just once.

I read that wrong, he made it sound like Tancredo could have a potential 50k votes un-counted which in his case wouldn't matter. It was a little early this morning.

Tom Tancredo said that Tom didn't have a chance to win. Tom said that Ken Buck does have a chance to win.

I got it now that I've had a few cups of coffee. I was just reading it wrong this morning. There may be a bunch left in Arapahoe, but there are also a lot left in Boulder uncounted, which is going heavily in Bennet's favor. It's still hard to say, I think it will go over to Bennet regardless.
