    The ability to check for fraud and do recounts *is part of the election process.*

    Availing yourself of them is not undermining the election. It is also not what Trump meant, although I'm sure his translators will grab onto that spin for 24 hours until he contradicts them in public as usual.

    Just heard this clip on the radio.

    The crowd goes WILD.

    LOL.

    Kerry conceded the race a few hours after Bush crossed 270.

    Trump has already encouraged his supporters to go to polling places and interfere with other people voting.

    Hillary will concede if she loses. She conceded in 2008 during a primary that was just as contentious as this election is.

    Sure. Like in 2000.

    Exactly.

    Trump is essentially saying the conspiracy against him goes so high that he has no redress other than grassroots revolution.

    I thought he was a little weak on freedom last night, but nothing a good C-bomb or two can't fix.

    Trump is rousing up his base -- a group proven to be capable of violence -- to hang around polling places and also not to accept the results if he loses because the election is "rigged."

    He says this every chance he gets.

    Now, I am sure that Donald doesn't intend to start an armed revolt. He truly just wants an excuse when he loses. But if you did want to stoke violence, this is how you'd do it.

    This is one among numerous reasons that this man does not have the temperament or awareness to be president.

    Anybody steps in my face at the polling place and challenges my right to vote, there's gonna be fucking trouble, right there. I mean somebody-going-to-the-floor trouble.

    It'll never happen of course, because I'm a middle-aged white guy.
