I like the way you frame that...even though it is enormously disconcerting given the power bestowed upon winner of that "democracy".

I was of the mind set that HRC needs to win by a huge landslide in order to ensure the delta in votes between DT / HRC is large enough to avoid the election being decided by a court...but your reply vitiated that thought. 1.01 / .99 wow, even if the voting machines were locked down under 24/7 guard until Nov. 8 I do not see how we can trust electronic voting machines.
