... Herschel Walker conceded!!! It was a reasonably gracious, even uplifting, concession speech. He thanked his supporters, urged them to believe in themselves, "never stop fighting for Georgia," and "always always continue to cast your votes." No whining about imaginary voter fraud, no calls to march in the streets or tear down the elections system.
This shouldn't be remarkable, but for a Trump-backed MAGA flag-waving candidate, it was slightly surprising.
While I'm very very very glad that he lost, there is a small part of me that still wonders what would have happened if someone who repeatedly and unapologetically described himself as LIVING IN TEXAS tried to take office as a Georgia Senator. Since it's now a moot point, I suppose we'll never know. But it is against Georgia law.
In other news, Cochise County, Arizona finally gave in and certified their election results. So I guess the midterm elections are finally over.
