    I dont think codman implied the election was rigged nor did I. I only stated that Trump doesnt get to choose whether to tie up the nation in a pointless recount. That is for the states to decide.

    Rigged is an inappropriate term, however Bernie has a legit claim to this.

    The election is certainly manipulated, primarily by the media. Its truly sad how much attention is given to tabloid issues that matter little instead of actually focusing on policies.

    Obama's first election, although it was conflated with Bradley/Wilder effect talk about voters not being ready for a black president.

    Meh.
    1. Election is rigged! It's only legit if I win.
    2. It should disturb everyone that Russia is trying to interfere with our election.

    Not even an apple and orange. Like a festering rotten eggplant versus a lemon. False equivalence, again.

    Oh: and OF COURSE I will accept the election results. The system is too dispersed and run at local levels by people of disparate affiliations. I think our national elections are very solid. (The electoral college tradition is another matter.)

    I think it is funny that Russia is "interfering" by exposing the truth.... You can't handle the truth..... Our media certainly isn't up to the challenge of unbiased reporting.

    What's really funny is watching some Americans become apologists and defenders of Russia espionage against their own country.

    Question. When Trump says he's not going to accept the results of the election should he lose, what exactly can he do? Appeal and challenge it? Is there a protocol for this?

    Can you cite an accredited source that has stated it believes hackers, Russian or otherwise, pose a serious and real threat to the 2016 election results?

    Go ahead, take your time.
