With millions of people deemed not eligible to vote (1), voices from both major parties rejects the electoral college (2), the next president claims that the election is rigged, the loosing candidate supports a recount of votes (3), the winner claims millions of illegal votes has been cast and finally there is a voting turnout below 60%:

Edit: Alternatives didn't view properly:
- Yes, this system has always been working for the benefit of the people and we are in full control over the process. Nothing needs to change.
- No, democracy has been turned into a battlefield for powerhungry politicians with us, the people, in the back seat. I want a change.

- Various groups are deemed not eligible, those rules vary and might be pushed and pulled on tactical basis. Some groups have a disadvantage, language or disabilities.
- Before the election Trump expressed his dislike. After the election various voices from the losing party does the same. So you need to trust a system that neither major party trust themselves (when suitable, of course).
- Whomever pushed for the recount is less relevant that it is in the loosing party’s interest. What is even more relevant is that votes might actually be recounted. That would imply, not incompetence - but rather a criminal infiltration deep within the only instrument you have to make your voice heard.
