Washington Post: “Errol Webber was never expected to have much of a chance at winning his race for Congress. The Republican had challenged a popular incumbent, Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), in a deep-blue swath of Los Angeles, so it was no surprise returns showed him losing by more than 72 percentage points. But that did not stop Webber, a 33-year-old movie producer, from questioning the results in California’s 37th District in the House. ‘I’m going to the Los Angeles County Registrar’s Office in Norwalk today to audit the vote counting procedures,’ he wrote Monday. ‘I will NOT concede. Every LEGAL vote needs to be counted!'”

“It has become a familiar cry among losing GOP candidates in recent days, including from inside the White House. As President Trump makes unfounded allegations of voting fraud and demands a recount in the presidential election, his rhetoric and unwillingness to concede seem to be trickling down the ballot. Despite having lost to their Democratic opponents by decisive margins last week, Webber and a few other Republican congressional candidates — all fervent Trump supporters — have followed his lead, refusing to concede and making their own baseless claims about the election. In Maryland, House candidate Kimberly Klacik (R) declared Sunday her campaign would ‘investigate’ the results of her race against Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-Md.), in which the incumbent trounced her by more than 40 points. It was unclear how she would probe the results, and neither Klacik nor her campaign manager immediately responded to a request for comment.”
