    Didn't that happen in California decades ago when Black Panthers were waving weapons and walking up to cops mid-arrest, reading rights with a sawed-off resting on the shoulder?

    Neera Tanden, pushing for a recount, and retweeting folks who are suggesting the election was stolen.

    And it led to then Gov. Reagan and the NRA coming out in favor of gun control laws.

    That's when Reagan had his religious conversion to gun control

    Good look at the fake news regarding the ascendancy of the neo nazis:

    Trump hires the leader of the most-influential alt-right news site. But it's The Media normalizing it.

    Gotcha. Sure. Yep. OK.

    To preface, I think Clinton challenging the results is a non-starter, no-win situation. I dislike the result. Hate it. But she should have won in a blowout and she didn't. I blame the 50 percent of the country that couldn't be bothered to vote.

    And yeah, Clinton is going to win the popular vote by 2 million. Makes me angry, too. But the rules are the rules. Been in place for 240 years. Unless they are changed in the future, that's the way it goes. My vote does count less than someone else's vote.

    But what I find alarming? States don't have a uniform way of voting. In Wisconsin, why do some same-day voters uses paper ballots, and why do some use touch sceeens?

    That seems insane to me. Were the machines hacked? I have no idea and we'll likely never know for sure.

    I get that the process is left up to the states. For security, that's probably more secure.

    But why does't each state have a uniform process? Seems like it leaves lot of room for manipulation at a hard-to-detect level.
