There should be a re-run and if the margin is still less than 2.0%, the state should be seen as evenly split and half of each side should participate as electors for that state. That is the only way to make it fair!

The 6 states that should have a run off are:
Florida
Pennsylvania
Michigan
Wisconsin
Minnesota
New Hampshire

Candidates with more than 5.0% of the votes should be allowed to participate the run off, so only Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be on the ballot since Gary Johnson didn't get at least 5.0% in any of these states.
The re-run should be one month from Election Day so candidates can focus campaigning in just those 6 states for a month!
Ummm, no. Then the election would never end. Same goes with most elections. Florida is always a very close state.

You want to keep having elections until your candidate wins. If Clinton had won by the same results you would be saying the system we have now is fair.

The turkey in the White House pardoned two turkeys yesterday. I wonder if he will now pardon the ass who lost the election because of her criminal activities?

Let me guess. You want to recount only in places that help Hillary, count until she wins and then the results will be magically legit, final and unquestionable.

It's a sad sad day when the counties trump won are only worth 36% of the American economy!

Washington Post = Fake News

Winning the economic majority vote gets you the same thing as winning the popular vote. Nothing. How many different ways are you guys going to present Hillary's failures to us?

OP --- Enough already. I'm going to tell you this for your own good, so listen up --- All these threads you are starting about your idol, Hillary, have made you a laughingstock. Time to calm down, give it a rest and move on to acceptance---seriously.

This person is obviously starving for attention. The best anyone can do for him is put him on ignore. Hope you're having a great Thanksgiving.

With all due respect, a laughing stock among whom exactly? This is an anonymous forum with fairly explicit TOS (that everyone should read and observe), which are not being violated by the OP.

I, for one, am very appreciative of informative threads like this.

As far as I know, Obama is still president, we still have free speech and we are all entitled to our opinions. It is, frankly, offensive for some to try to bully and suppress others' opinions. I think they do that in places like...Russia, though Trump may attempt to do it in the US, as well.

As far as laughing, I think it is much more amusing to read the threads that are in bold caps, self-important and....misspelled. I prefer to ignore most of those, rather than attack and attempt to suppress those initiating them. You appear to dislike Hillary, so perhaps you should just ignore threads about her, rather than stop the rest of us from exercising constitutional rights. Seriously.
