Tragically Hip Party Demands Recount
Although Satch DeLeon conceded the presidency over a week ago, Tragically Hip Party leaders are insisting that California's votes be recounted after seeing the numbers. The numbers from California are as follows.

As you can see, DeLeon is within 5,000 votes of Indigo Retina out of approximately 19 million votes cast. Although DeLeon conceded, a win in California for him would make him the President-elect.

When asked for comment, DeLeon had this to say: "Yes, I conceded. That is true. That may have been premature, or maybe not. However, I myself will not take action. I have moved on. If I am President-elect, I will do my best. However, my party will have to be the one to take action in this case."

Several party leaders are furious with DeLeon about his unwillingness to fight alongside them for his possible presidency, but they are aware of his unwillingness to look like a sore loser in a hard-fought 7 month long campaign.

"Politically, it's smart politics to lay down and accept a defeat in this race. After the election chaos 20 years ago, the American public is not willing to deal with another political dispute over the true President-elect." says Drew Porter, a political analyst for the El Paso Snooper.
However, it will be difficult for DeLeon to stay out of this if it continues to escalate. Already, a confident Retina has made a statement directed at DeLeon. The statement read "(L)ittle momma's boy doesn't want to p(l)ay big boy games anymore? Awww." The statement goes on by inquiring as to the true nature of DeLeon's gender and then claiming to know the untold situation behind his conception. Bold words from a bold president-elect.

Reaction to Retina's statement has been strong among the DeLeon family, and perhaps has pulled DeLeon into fighting for his honor. DeLeon is expected to make a statement of his own soon as to whether he will be fighting alongside his party.
