33.3%, or 1/3 of US elections in the 21st century have ended up like this by the way. And in 16.6% or 1/6 of elections in the 21st century, the partisan courts have refused to do a recount that would lead to the candidate favoured by the partisan court losing the election. And in another 1/6 (lol) of elections in the 21st century, supporters of the losing candidate stormed the Capitol and were treated with kids gloves by the state security forces and the police, and were even assisted by them.
Worse. They intervened to stop a recount, in concert with a collection of paid protesters (aka, The Brooks Brothers Rioters), for the purpose of overturning an election.
Democracy so cool and good like nobody else on earth implemented one like it afterward. Truly, how wise our founding fathers were that everybody else saw how they did it and said "lol fuck that noise."
Lol and Kavanaugh and Barrett, who are now LIFETIME appointments to the Supreme Court, directly worked on Bush's legal team pushing to stop the recount in 2000. Chief Justice John Roberts was an adviser to the governor of Florida, Bush's brother Jeb, during that time as well. But yeah, "wOrLd'S oLdEsT dEmOcRaCy"
