We have a sitting president telling illegal immigrants they can vote.

No, if that tilts the final vote. Nobody should accept the results.

It could get interesting...

Ana Navarro, a well-known Republican strategist whose commentary for CNN this cycle has produced a handful of viral hits, announced on Monday that she would be voting for Hillary Clinton.

Would that be the same CNN that used to employ one Donna Brazile for her political insights? HAAA HAAAA!

Were ewe scared shitless when Gore did it?

Gore handled it like a gentleman and a patriot. There was no Constitutional crisis - just due process.

There was no Constitutional crisis - just due process.

Which Democrats still haven't accepted

Correct. Gore won the popular vote and was screwed by then Governor Jeb Bush and then Secretary of State Katherine Harris.

Gore Won Florida

Gore attempted to ONLY have the votes recounted in heavily DEM counties.
The Florida SC told him to go fuck himself. When that bullshit didn't work he went to the SSSC.
Then the asshole lost AGAIN!

The "Inventor of the internet' took the election results all the way to the SC!!!!!
Then the 'vaguely gay' asshole lost.
Let's see what Hillary does if Trump wins 270.

And rightfully so, i.e., Gore going to the Supreme Court. That's why we have courts.

So if the race is close you are OK with Trump taking it to the US Supreme Court?
Ya fucking right asshole!

So when gun rights advocates go to the Supreme Court to try to get a law upheld or overturned,

they're assholes.

Interesting observation by you.

If Hillary wins we will oppose your corrupt lying imbecile from day 1 whether Trump concedes or not. No compromise, no middle ground, whatever she wants the answer is NO, forget it, pound sand, so get that through your thick skulls libs. Don't like it tough.

This thread is about what may happen if the election is close and how each candidate may react.
Too bad you are having such a hard time focusing.

This is scary stuff.

Here’s What Could Happen If Donald Trump Doesn’t Accept The Election Results

WASHINGTON ― Samuel J. Tilden had a problem.

It was 1876, and the Democratic presidential nominee was one vote shy of the 185 Electoral College votes needed to secure the nation’s highest office. Tilden had swept the popular vote, winning 247,448 more ballots than his opponent Rutherford B. Hayes ― who also lagged behind in Electoral College votes, with 165.

But 20 votes had not been counted: one from Oregon, four from Florida, eight from Louisiana and seven from South Carolina. Democratic candidates had used fraud and violence to sweep the state-level elections in the South. But since Republicans still maintained control of the state electoral boards, they could throw out votes in order to secure Hayes a win. On March 5, 1877, an Electoral Commission established by Congress confirmed Hayes would be America’s 19th president.

During this political upheaval, there were talks of civil unrest, and fears of a second Civil War or the election being rigged to favor a candidate who better served the interests of the party in power. But Tilden, who had pretty good reason to think he was cheated, did not question the legitimacy of the results and conceded the election.

Current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump may not be as gracious.

During the final presidential debate, Trump refused to say he would accept the election results in the contest against Hillary Clinton. In fact, as his chances of winning have dropped, his claims that the election is rigged against him have increased. (And, unlike Tilden, Trump doesn’t have a case.)

Fifty-six percent of Americans think Trump should concede if he loses on Tuesday, and 31 percent of those who believe he should concede think it would be a major threat to U.S. democracy if he doesn’t, according to a HuffPost/YouGov poll conducted this month.

Along party lines, the divide gets more stark. Only 48 percent of Republicans think Trump should concede if Clinton is declared the winner, compared to 77 percent of Democrats, based on the HuffPost/YouGov poll. Eighty-six percent of Republicans surveyed believe Clinton should concede versus 67 percent of Democrats.

Some political reporters and experts have argued that it doesn’t matter whether Trump accepts the election outcome. To some extent, they’re right: If Trump loses, he’ll have few legal recourses to contest the result.

But what if Trump doesn’t concede?

“Ever since Thomas Jefferson effected the first change in party power in 1800, our democracy has depended upon the peaceful transfer of power and the idea of an opposition — but a loyal opposition,” Allan Lichtman, a political historian at American University, told The Huffington Post. “Is Trump going to change 200 years of American history?”

No one knows. But Trump refusing to concede would flip the bird to a long American tradition of accepting a loss in a presidential election. And refusing to bow out peacefully could have real-life consequences.

Here are a few:

Yep, this is scary stuff - especially considering the fact that Trump is not a patriot. Trump is in it for Trump - and he may well try to burn democracy down.

Another paranoid and delusional rant?

Are you fucking kidding?

Soreloserman? Gentleman and a patriot.

That is hilarious.

He'll be egging her on.

Cheering all the way.

I want video rights if he wears his faux headdress.

 

[Yousaidwhat]

I bet the OP thought Y2K was going to be the end of the world too

Hmmmm!

Is he still on dialup in his teepee?

 

[Yousaidwhat]

It must be awful to be Lakhota, so terrified of everything not Dem.

He hides in the basement for a reason you know.

He resides in a wigwam? With a basement?

I'm sorry, I was under the impression it was a teepee.

That isn't enough. It has to be taken to those people who support her. The next door neighbor that voted Democrat, the coworker who voted for her and is in a position to be sabotaged.

It has to get personal.
