Lehan concedes, sort of
The childishness in Clackistan rolls on. Now the lame duck county chair, Charlotte Lehan, admits that she lost the election last week, and she says she won't bring a legal challenge against the outcome. But she says she's not "conceding." She's going to await the results of the "investigation" being done by Oregon secretary of state Kate Brown and state attorney general Ellen Rosenblum. That's pretty amusing. An election worker was caught changing a handful of votes at most; Lehan lost by more than 6,000. What does she think Salem is going to do? Order a "do-over"?
Lehan hasn't been seen in public in 10 days. Now she's babbling about the "investigation," and reportedly visiting her office while the press is being told she's on vacation. She and her comrade in defeat, Jamie Damon, have been engaged in this kind of tomfoolery for a long time. If Lehan keeps it up for another month or so, her political career, critically wounded by her rogue behavior on behalf of the Mystery Train to Milwaukie, will die entirely. Apparently she's still not listening to anyone with any sound political judgment. Hey, it's her life.

Her boneheaded moves lead me to think she might have a job waiting already.

Lehan is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by an IED.
Incomprehensible Election Disaster
She can't deal with the fact that her regional gang (they like to call a "partnership")let her be defeated.
How dare they. Why this is an outrage!
No doubt she's had some choice words for all the people she blames.

Maybe she'll get a position at the PSU Patronage Center.

She has never lost an election before this. Doesn't know how to handle it?

Wish it was Argentina, I could cry for her.
When is the chain to be pulled on this idiot, her circling the bowl is undignified.
