@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.

In other words, ballot security should take precedence over ballot access.
People who feel cheated out of their votes , eventually rectify that problem. It tends to be a messy affair when they do.

Not at all.

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.

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.

If you know your ballot doesn't count, you don't care about access.

There is no “security” for your vote to speak of if you cannot cast a vote in the first place.

There is no security with fascists, anyway.
See "Trump List Project".
Those are your buddies, not mine...

Jolly, he's a fool. You can't win an argument with a fool. All you can do with a fool is treat him like the fool he is.

Kind of like a drunk in a bar?
You either walk away or beat the hell out of him?

"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.
