@Jolly said in Trump's reaction to losing:
Access means nothing, if nobody trusts the results.
Democracy means nothing of there is no access.
It has been my observation, that the folks in the Soviet Union had an awful lot of access. Routine turnout was greater than 90%, wasn't it?

Which tells you the importance of access. Even authoritarian regime has to go to great lengths to manufacture the appearance of high turnout to fake legitimacy.
Russia has a different access problem: viable oppositions have no access to the ballot itself — they cannot get their names onto the ballot.

@Jolly said in Trump's reaction to losing:
In other words, ballot security should take precedence over ballot access.
Not at all.
People who feel cheated out of their votes , eventually rectify that problem. It tends to be a messy affair when they do.
You feel cheated more immediately if you do not even get to cast a vote.
Or, for that matter, when you are prohibited from voting for the person you want to vote for.

@Jolly said in Trump's reaction to losing:
Wrong.
If the ballot is secure, it means something.
You can have access all day long, but if your ballot gets no further than the dumpster, it means nothing.
Wrong. You have to be able to vote first before there is even such a thing as “your vote” to go anywhere.

"The best pollster in Britain" is apparently an opinion piece in the Daily Express written by a DC-based right wing organisation., the Democracy Institute.
Trump really is a clown.

Trump really is a clown.
The only clowns I see are all democrats.

The election was stolen. But it won't matter.
The same sorry, low-life bastards who promoted a three year old witch hunt about Russia, trying their best to revoke the rule of law in the U.S. don't care.
It's all about power. They don't care about right. They don't care about wrong. They care about power. If it meant getting Trump out of office they would say anything, tell any lie, pass on any rumor or do whatever it took.
I think they would stop just short of whoring their kids out on the street.
But I wonder...
