Does the loser have to concede at all? Can the country just say: "Whatever" and get on with business as usual? His concession is irrellevant to the actual legal election process but may inspire whackos to acts of violence.

call to action posted:All the articles talking about how bad Trump is just make the fact that there's a 1-in-3 chance she'll lose pretty pathetic When taken as a whole, so's America. It literally doesn't matter, got to vote your team.

Let's brag about how far our imperialist empires spread their dumb stick sports while subjugating native peoples. And tennis is ridiculously expensive and for privileged assholes.

America pretty much moves on. If he incites armed action, he gets arrested by the FBI for sedition.

Some states allow for a campaign to request a recount, but they can't keep the process going forever.

Known shady businessman does shady business man things. This reminds me of Romney and his tax return showing absurd growth in some category I can't recall, something related to retirement I believe. People were sure it was gonna prove he was a huge fraud but everyone already knew that shady businessmen did and continue to do shady businessman thing. At this point I feel like every republican has some kind of shady business deal on their record that will never affect voters. R's will think business smart, D's will think business bad.

Theoretically the loser could bring some kind of legal action if there's some plausible reason to, but short of that it doesn't matter. Can you imagine if it worked any other way?

Im not American but as far as I know its more of a formality and not necessarily a thing that cements the results of the election. He can try to slow the process down by demanding recounts(maybe?), but even then the country will move on no matter what kind of temper tantrum he has.

Does the loser have to concede at all? Can the country just say: "Whatever" and get on with beginning Clinton's administration? If the other side doesn't concede then both presidential candidates have to enter the Thunder Dome to fight it out. The popular vote winner gets to use a mech suit and the other candidate gets a rusty knife and a canned chicken. If the handicapped candidate wins against these odds they get to change/remove/add a single amendment to the constitution. The only concession is death.

El Pollo Blanco posted:2.5 billion people watch and play cricket, baseball barely breaks 500 mil. Checkmate *World* Series watchers. Considering a cricket game lasts days and a baseball game lasts a couple or three hours I should hope more people end up watching cricket. That'd be kind of sad othewise.

iospace posted:Right article this time: The article is too complicated to actually have an effect. But if I understood the first half of it, it basically says one of Trump's lawsuits involving the bankruptcy of The Taj helped set a precedent for financial firms to protect themselves from litigation, if there is enough fine print to cover their own rear end. Regardless of how inaccurate the sales pitch is in laying out costs/profits/ etc etc. Agrajag fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Nov 3, 2016 |

Nessus posted:At this point I'm surprised nobody's tried to do a murder and frame the Clintons for it. Maybe they have and it just never made the news. Murder is big deal poo poo. A murder that was nationally pointed at the Clintons couldn't be swept under the rug. There'd be too much attention. The idea that she's some sort of puppetmaster murderess really only floats with the alt-right crowd. It doesn't have traction with average folks. Better to just paint her as a liar and untrustworthy in some way.

Right now he's polling -15 against Democrat Paul Penzone. I'm hoping that the motivation to kick Arpaio the gently caress out gets more people to the ballot box who end up voting for Clinton to tip the scales in her favor in the state.
