In reply to my letter (Jan. 5), Dale Butland argues that Al Gore and Hillary Clinton conceded their election losses (Jan. 12). But Mr. Gore conceded only after he had forced a seemingly never-ending recount that was ultimately halted (more than a month after Election Day) by the Supreme Court. Mrs. Clinton conceded on Election Night, but even years later she was still saying in public that “Trump knows he’s an illegitimate president.” Do either of those indicate acceptance of a loss? Mr. Butland is silent regarding Georgia’s Stacey Abrams, who, to this day, unless I missed it, hasn’t conceded her 2018 loss.
I am not trying to defend Donald Trump. My point is that this behavior isn’t new or unique to him. He wasn’t the first, and most likely won’t be the last, to contest election results.
