(1,077 posts)I can buy into both of the above. There is too much anecdotal information out there where he has stiffed people of what's owed. Likewise, the 50 states and territories have certified results.
This was an honest and fair election. The citizen voters just turned out in far greater numbers than their plans. They don't understand, or chose not to understand, EVERY ballot mailed went to a registered voter. Ballots don't go out as box stuffers. I have worked as a poll worker in Virginia and Tennessee, and I RESENT even a hint of impropriety.
All that is going on, is what I call "the tyranny of the minority". They lost. Similar to the blessed 60 vote rule for legislation, etc.
I want to mention that in the early days, you had to own property to vote. Now, we have the electoral college? Is the electoral college just a sophisticated extension of property ownership. When did senators start being elected by popular vote? Just about 100 years ago.
