27. So we should not look further?

We know what is at stake. Is it now too much trouble to defend democracy? Forget the media frenzy, just start examining the results. We don't need a photo op every five hours to examine results. We don't need press coverage and special committees and such. If there is nothing wrong, then there is nothing wrong. Correct?

Personally, I like the idea of doing a hand count in the seven swing states. If there were issues with the machines or StarLink, that is where it will be obvious. (Disclosure: this was not my idea.) If no issues appear, then there was nothing wrong with the election. Unlike the rethugs, we won't start screaming the second we decide to demand a recount, but will maturely await the outcome to see if there were issues. If there were not, then there were not. There seems to be more and more circumstantial evidence appearing that indicates something was amiss. Which is why there needs to be a bit more scrutiny.

(Also, that orange gibbon did not try to steal the election. He tried to overthrow the existing government. The election had been over for months. Just my opinion.)
