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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
