That is what I heard also, once Hoffman conceded the race was uncontested, this allowed Pelosi to swear him in. If Hoffman does end up winning Owens will be removed and Hoffman will be sworn in but as you said the damage is already done. Pelosi already got what she wanted out of Owens.

I hear now that Pelosi had the authority to swear in Owens because Hoffman conceded. Owens could still be removed though if Hoffman ends up winning. He’s done his damage already though.

I don’t know, it sounds like the returns that he was seeing didn’t look good so he conceded. If it turns out that is was this close it seems like he may have jumped the gun. I have never heard of this happening before, it will be interesting to see it play out.

Do you think this was a simple lack of understanding on the part of Hoffman’s campaign? Do you think the Democrats will allow this to go through if Hoffman does win? This will be the story of the year if it turns out that Hoffman is the winner! Wow! That will be an incredible story!
