After the election, when the media are clamoring for a concession speech, the democratic candidate steps to the microphone and says:
Some people think I can step up here and declare who is the next president. But I can't do that. No one can. No one person can declare, "He is the president". No one person can dictate, "I am the president".
No group of people can decide among themselves who will be the president: not a political party, not the supreme court, not the congress, and not a group of wealthy men. When something like that is attempted, it's called a coup d'etat. And that does not happen in America.
We are a democracy. The president is chosen by the people. The people vote, the votes are counted, and the person who gets the most votes is the president. It is not a matter of winning or losing. It is a matter of answering to the will of the people.
We are going to count all the votes.
We are going to count all the votes in Florida. If we find a discrepancy, we will count them again. If we find another discrepancy, we will count them again. We will keep counting until we have resolved all of the discrepancies and all of the irregularities.
We will count all of the votes in Ohio. We will count all of the votes in Texas. We will count all of the votes in America.
Some communities have used voting machines which cannot be verified. That is absurd. That is a voting irregularity. The results from these machines are invalid. The elections will be repeated in those communities using paper ballots. All of the votes will be counted.
This will take some time. It may take months. It may take years. I don't care if it takes four years. I don't care if it takes 10 years. I don't care if it takes 100 years. I don't care if it takes 1000 years.
We are not giving up on democracy in America.
We have had two stolen elections. We will not have a third.
