    Default Florida Republican who lost special election by 59 points refuses to concede

    A Florida Republican took a page out of former Donald Trump's playbook this week, refusing to concede a congressional special election he lost by more than 59 points in one of the state's most Democratic districts.

    Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a health care executive who supports progressive policies like Medicare for All, the Green New Deal and a $1,000-per-month universal basic income, earlier this week defeated Republican Jason Mariner to succeed the late Rep. Alcee Hastings, a Democrat who served more than 14 terms in Congress before his death last April.

    Mariner, however, refused to concede defeat despite losing the race by an overwhelming margin, roughly 79% to 20%.

    Maybe a 'trend' from here on out?

    This is clearly asinine behavior and this joker is looking for attention and making a mockery here. But it's interesting the article references Trump but makes no reference to Stacey Abrams refusing to concede. If we don't like the behavior (which I hope most people don't) and don't want it to become a trend it can't just come from a partisan perspective.

    "Points?" What kind of election has "points?" Was it something like a game show election or something?

    Oh, looked at the article linked. It's Boward county in Florida. That's like the Democrat epicenter of Florida voter fraud and the only county in the state it seems that is overwhelmingly Democrat. Every time there's some question about election integrity in Florida, you can bet it's Boward county at the center of it...

    Your ignorance of math is noted. Points in this usage means percentage points, so every election would have percentage points. Even an election of four voters would have each voter worth 25 percentage points.

    Quite true. A few buses there and Democrats win! Of course some are school buses that go out to the migrant farm worker camps in addition to the Greyhounds from who knows where.

    PS: It's Broward county, not "Boward". Also years back there was a large influx of people from CA to Broward county for some reason or another.
