If the US elites massage the voting system post-facto to make sure Trump is denied presidency, US democracy will become the laughing stock of the world.

It kinda already is.

Desertphile and Gerrit make valid points. And- even if HRC were to be elected , can anyone imagine the level of intransigence she would now encounter in this congress?
I just read Livingston’s Fuck Work https://aeon.co/essays/what-if-jobs-are-not-the-solution-but-the-problem …. I encourage you to look at the dept of Labor data he cites. Much as I wanted this to be an election that so repudiated the bottom feeding of Trump, I may need to see that it really was “the economy, stupid”

In reply to dean. Roman: "How come only states where Clinton lost are suspected of irregularities?" No.

How come only states where Clinton lost are suspected of “irregularities”?

If the US elites massage the voting system post-facto to make sure Trump is denied presidency, US democracy will become the laughing stock of the world. You will have no moral stand to lecture China or Russia.

Keep it straight and simple. If investigation and recount prove convincingly and beyond reasonable doubt that a state’s election result of November 8th., 2016 is false and that is has to be corrected into the true amount of votes, it has to be done so, whatever the outcome may be. Let it be controlled and decided by the impartial supreme court of that state. The warnings of Desertphile are important. Don’t be lighthearted about this. Before you know it one spark can cause an uproar or worse. Good luck, America, Laren NH, Saturday 26th. November 2016, 19.07 PM Dutch time.

I for one welcome the Wisconsin recount.

I suspect it will confirm that Trump won Wisconsin – but lets count again and see!

Just imagine if the popular vote actually decided the election.

We still haven’t finished counting the actual vote and we are already starting recount(s).

Really – we should update our counting system(s) – what a joke.

Apparently about 5000 of Trump’s votes have already disappeared prior to the recount, down to a lead of ~22K now. http://www.palmerreport.com/news/ahead-of-recount-wisconsin-has-already-wiped-out-5000-phony-votes-for-donald-trump/234/
