The thing that is overlooked here is the appearance of impropriety. I get, and somewhat agree with, the idea that there is a wing of misinformation-generators and conspiracy theory playwrites working on the right who cook up a lot of shit. Don't care.

The right to have your vote counted in a fairly executed election is about as fundamental as it gets. The government, whether in control by the far right or the far left, pisses away billions of dollars on non-sense every year.

There is no reason, fiscal or otherwise, that has been articulated to me to not spend a few hundred million and have an audit done of the vote when circumstances indicate it's necessary. Those circumstances don't just include prima facie evidence of wrongdoing. They would also include, IMO, state votes that are very close, particularly in states with enough electoral votes to have made a difference.

Full disclosure: I voted for Trump, but I'm not in that camp of people who get depressed about it. It's not like when Miami loses. I'll just bend over and writer a bigger check to the IRS I guess. And learn to speak Chinese ... or something. But I'd like to know that I'm doing so because my fellow Americans wanted it that way.

I see it this way as a centrist too and, hence, from an even keeled approach. Folks who voted Trump are making a conscious choice to be enraged for the next 4 years based on a relative misunderstanding of how elections work. I imagine it’ll eventually subside.

Notice the Fuck Off button? Good.

You don't know anything about actual Trump voters, obviously. Keep devouring CNN and MSNBC Mr. Even Keel.

Hillary is an idiot. I'm happy to count all the votes. Most liberals hate Trumpers not Russians, because they know Trumpers elected him fair and square.

I support working class politics not corporate and identity-based Dems.

Well then you must really hate the RAT party now that or you're really old and are confused about what and who the modern day RAT party is.

Just like my business partner. Some people just want to fight...me. That usually gets me in more trouble but I almost always have more fun doing it. BTW, fuck paying more taxes; we already pay more than enough.

In 2016 if Hillary was way out in front in every swing state and the voting was stopped, on purpose, and when it resumed the positions changed drastically and magically for only the office of president the left would have gone bat shit crazy. They would have burned everything as they are now the communist party.

You'd still be crying and have a massive mascara bill for 4 years.

All the best ideas require the force of government to institute them.

You will learn to love your constant rolling brownouts and electric cars. Everybody says so.
