The race was called on Saturday night but that hasn't stopped MAGA-loving Joe Kent from refusing to concede, encouraging all local voters to “cure” their ballots.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger doesn't think a whole hell of a lot of these election-denying Trump acolytes and got into a bit of a back-and-forth with Kent on Twitter.

Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez has been declared the winner in Washington state’s 3rd Congressional District by the Associated Press. That would flip the seat from Republican to Democratic control and make it harder for the Republicans to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Her opponent Joe Kent has not conceded.
“What the media says is irrelevant, it[‘]s another narrative designed to stop voters from ballot curing & to force me to concede - not gonna happen,” Kent wrote on Twitter Saturday. “We’re on the streets ballot curing. The fight goes on while the talking heads talk. Power dry & check your ballot.”
The count from the Washington Secretary of State’s Office Sunday morning had Gluesenkamp Perez with 154,169 votes, for 50.47%, to Kent’s 149,548, for 48.96% of the vote. The difference separating them was 4621 votes.
Kent and his supporters are encouraging all local voters to “cure” their ballots by going to the Secretary of State’s website and double checking if it’s been accepted and, if not, rectifying that.
Kinzinger did not hold back.
Kent tried to attack Kinzinger's military service, but as the saying goes, in a battle of wits it's probably not a good idea to come unarmed.
Kent's opponent also stomped him and others of his ilk into the ground: "Southwest Washington looked them straight in the eye and said no — not here, not now, not ever."
