Sacramento Democrat refuses to concede loss in mayoral race despite bipartisan consensus
 
A Democratic mayoral candidate who campaigned to govern one of California’s biggest cities is refusing to concede defeat.

Flojaune Cofer and California Assemblyman Kevin McCarty, both Democrats, have spent months battling it out to become Sacramento’s next mayor.

With the country’s most populous state consistently being among the slowest to count ballots, it wasn’t until three weeks after Election Day on Tuesday evening that one of the candidates, McCarty, declared victory.
 
His celebration came after Sacramento county officials released the latest batch of election results Tuesday afternoon, showing McCarty garnering 95,310 votes to Cofer’s 92,678.
