The reason that previous GSA administrators have been able to start the process early is because all previous losing candidates have conceded the election within 24 hours of the completion of the election.  Barring the losing candidate conceding, the GSA administrator has to wait for official results from states to certify their results.

It is not Ms. Murphy's job to certify the election.  It is not her decision to send the letter.  [b]It is her responsibility to send the letter when she has been given the official result of the election.  [/b]With no concession and no certified results from the states, she does not have the authority to decide the outcome and send the letter.  Yes, the media has projected the election and we all know the results, but that's still not enough for an official act that will cost the federal government a lot of money and give classified information to people who are not yet employees of the federal government.

I love the fact that the man who was the GSA administrator in 2000 called her to offer her his counsel and support.  He's the only one who can really speak to her from experience.

It may be her responsibility to send the letter, but the authority to decide when to send it is above her pay grade.  Blame Trump, not Ms. Murphy.

Read the statute...she doesn't need to await certification. When there is an apparent winner, she has the latitude to certify. Only morons watching OAN think there is any question left. Why admit being one of those?[/quote]
