BB--

You may think this is a safe topic, but it ain't.

There is so much suspicion, bordering on paranoia, on BOTH sides, based in large part on despicable tactics by Bushites in 2000, that if the election is even slightly close, it will be a long time til one side will give up.

Also, many Democrats feel that Gore was, bluntly, stupid, to concede early (he then had to "un-concede" later.)

Ain't gonna happen this time.

Meanwhile, the Republicans this time will with their phalanx of lawyers (as you know, both sides have armies of lawyers ready) to challenge, particularly the "provisional votes".

Electoral College majority, when it's finally determined, will determine the president-----anything else will bring even more chaos.
