Heard the same thing. He joked that he was officially “unconceding”.

[silverleaf]

Wouldn’t this be excellent?

And a great new act for the Pelosi Flying Circus aka the US Congress

[SueRae]

If he wins, can the healthcare vote be nullified or is that a done deal???

[ExTexasRedhead]

He better be camped beside whomever is doing the voting with armed guards 24/7. RAT/ACORN slimes thy name is corruption.

[gimme1ibertee]

I thought,once you conceded and gave that speech,you were done.Not so?

[B Knotts]

[billhilly]

Surely this news made Pelosi almost blink.

[Daisyjane69]

I would laugh my ass off!

[B Knotts]

Oh, shoot. You already got the headline fixed before I got my smart aleck reply in. :-P

[shield]

Actually 10,000 were distributed...I believe the actual numbers of absentee which came back in was around 5800.

[ClearCase_guy]

If the recount shows a win for Hoffman, they will simply begin recount #2.

When it's all over, Hoffman won't be the winner.

[silverleaf]

concessiins have nothign ot do with who is the officla congress rep- that is up to the state officilas to certify

It is puzzling that someone (WHO) acceded to Pelosi “demands” to swear in and allow to vote, an UNCERTIFIED congress rep

According to Fred Grandy (WMAL, former congressman)- that Owens was seated before being certified, should invalidate Owen’s vote(s)- which would make Loosiana Cao Cao the idiot holding the bag on the healthcare bill passing

[Sir Gawain]

Concessions have no legal binding. They’re a formality.

That's only a formality not a LEGALITY.

[mmichaels1970]

I'd heard the same thing. However, Hoffman himself said there were 10000 left. Beck also mentioned that today is the deadline to receive military ballots. I'd doubt that they would have gotten 4200 more ballots after the last report, but Hoffman's mentioning of 10000 surprised me.

[sarasota]

Absentee ballots are the largest player in voter fraud. I will be shocked if Hoffman can win against this scam.

[silverleaf]

not so

it ain’t over until the state election board certifies a winner

this has not yet occurred

How pelosi pulled such a scam as to swear in an uncertified guy and count his vote- remains to be seen if the time comes

[thirst4truth]

Neil Cavuto interviewed him and he said the NY elections division never certified the election, because all the votes had not been counted. But nan swore the democrat in anyway, made an all smiles announcement that “we won” and let him cast a very important vote.

[Sans-Culotte]

If the recount shows a win for Hoffman, they will simply begin recount #2.

When it's all over, Hoffman won't be the winner.

Exactly. Nothing to see here; move along. Hoffman is so over (for this year, anyway).

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Ballots received by today and postmakrked on or before November 2, 2009 will be counted. Look for the Dimmicrats to challenge “validity” in the recount phase.

[sniper63]

"Surely this news made Pelosi almost blink."

Kinda hard to blink when your face is stretched as tight as a snare drum....

[MNJohnnie]

No it cannot be nullifed, that is a done deal.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

swear in an uncertified guy and count his vote

Exactly why Owens will be the winner after the recount.

[italianquaker]

His vote is meaningless, pelosi will just tell one of the yellow dogs to change there vote from no to yes

[Reagan69]

He needs to OFFICIALLY unconcede (just as Al Gore did) and challenge this NOW !

[MNJohnnie]

No, because the concession speech is based on the facts known. If the facts chance the concession is invalid.

Elections are decided by vote count, not concession speeches

[staytrue]

Not going to happen. Doug lost.

[rwfromkansas]

I thought they only had 10,000 total to count....now they have 10,000 left still?

Sounds like they didn’t count any of them yet!

I want to hear this from the election officials, but it could be very shocking and good news for him.

[CedarDave]

Juan Williams went off on Sarah Palin on FNS yesterday, blaming her for loss of the Republican in NY-23. I’d love for Hoffman to win to see Juan eat crow.

[The Sons of Liberty]

I thought,once you conceded and gave that speech,you were done.Not so?

Recall that in 2000, algore conceded, before he unconceded, and drug the election through the "hanging chad" nightmare.

I wouldn't get my hopes up though, you KNOW the dems will do whatever is necessary to steal the election, regardless of how the votes went. Otherwise we would have that idiot al Franken stinking up the place.

[left that other site]

“”Surely this news made Pelosi almost blink.”

You owe me a new monitor, sniper63!

[rwfromkansas]

Why does everything think concession is some big deal....all it is saying I give up the fight.

If the facts change, the person who wins the vote actually wins, regardless of concession.

[MNJohnnie]

It was a great post by you though. Was afraid I was going to become a new freeper catch phrase.

[MNJohnnie]

Hoffman conceded. Normally they do not wait on the certification in conceded races. Maybe they should make it law that the race has to be certified before the Congresscritter can be seated.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Tell that to Norm Coleman and he was AHEAD at the close of the polls in 2008. 2000 votes is still a long way to make up. These are ABSENTEE votes, cast BEFORE DeDe Scazzaflazza (deliberate mispelling) dropped out. Who knows what they’ll say when opened.

[calex59]

Conceding means nothing, except that you are acknowledging your loss. Use to they didn't concede until after all votes were counted, in this case there was a miscount right off the bat, so once again the dimwits cheated. Gore "unconceded" in 2000, which led to the "recount" philosophy the left still uses in close races.

The election was never certified, and that is what is virtually undoable, and until it is, Owens is NOT a member of congress, whether or not he was sworn in.

[RobRoy]

I’m reminded of the Democrat from SD who was behind by something like 2,000 votes with one indian reservation polling place yet to report in. It had something like 2,100 votes and he ended up getting something like 2,089 of them and he won. Tom Delay, I believe.

Beyond that kind of shenanigans, this thing is over.

[B Knotts]

Anyhow, this is good to hear. The closer it gets, the more it looks like he would have won had it not been for the combination of factors in the last week or so.

[wiggen]

saw that. amazing thing to me was he thought it was all aabout which party won and not which candidate won. He completely missed the point,not that he would ever admit that.
his argument in effect was about nothing at all to the people that supported Hoffman.

[Will88]

I recall from earlier reports that the official time to count the absentee ballots was today or tomorrow. Does someone have information that some had already been counted?

[PghBaldy]

Yes, but he did it within a much shorter period of time. Inertia and all that. I will keep my fingers crossed on this one, but with the history of the Dems...

[pissant]

You got that right.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

That’s probably Tim Johnson in the 2002 Senate race. John Thune was running against him at the time, and he was ahead with almost all of the vote in, but there was an Indian reservation still out that bumped Johnson back up a few hundred. Even though it was likely fraud was in play, Thune chose not to contest it, and ended up beating Daschle in 04.

[gimme1ibertee]

Thanks...I had forgotten about the AlGore non-concession.
Yeah, I think it’s gonna be an Al Franken redux. Hopefully not,but yes,I can see it happening.

[MNJohnnie]

Hoffmann said to Beck that the count should be done by Thursday

[Oldpuppymax]

Unfortunately it IS over. Absentee ballots are the mothers milk of democrat vote fraud. ACORN workers take them home, fill them out and send them back. We found out in Virginia that signatures which “don’t match” are of no concern to democrat state Attorneys General and will NOT disqualify the ballot. Of the 10,000 absentee ballots in NY 23, how many were filled out at local dem campaign headquarters?

[Never on my watch]

Imagine all the ‘green house gasses’ that will be released into the atmosphere by the plane loads of lawyers and ACORN workers flown in during the next 24 hours.

[Tribune7]

I hope your right but another thread says that Hoffman has to overcome a 3,026 vote deficit with just 5,800 absentee ballots received.

As I understand it, the 10,000 figure is the number of ballots distributed. Not all are going to come back.
