Accept Election Outcomes to Protect Democratic Norms

Respect Results

Candidates must respect the outcome of elections once votes are certified. Conceding a clear loss is a vital democratic norm that upholds the electoral process.

Evidence Needed

Allegations of irregularities require concrete evidence and must be proven in court, not simply asserted without basis after a loss. Unproven claims harm democracy.

Peaceful Transfer

Refusing to concede after a decisive loss undermines the tradition of peaceful transitions. This harms voter confidence and destabilizes the electoral process.
